The number of Canadians working from home has dropped but still remains more than twice as high as it was prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, according to Statistics Canada.

“The onset of the pandemic led to a sharp contraction in the number of commuters due to a drop in employment and more people mostly working from home,” the agency said in an Aug. 26 report.
