Note: The O*Net “Work Context” module (2019 version: available www.onetcenter.org) reports summary measures from worker surveys of the tasks involved in 968 occupations using the Standard Occupation Code, 2010 version). The questions use a 1–5 scale, where 1 indicates rare/not important. We developed two indices: (1) Face-to-Face interactions, (2) the potential for Remote Work. The value of each index for an occupation is a simple average O*Net questions listed in the table.

Note: The Teleworkable index has been built by Dingel & Neiman (2020). The authors use the O*Net “Work Context” and the “Generalized Work Activities” modules. If any of the above conditions in the Work Context or in the Generalized Work Activities is true they code that occupation as one that cannot be performed at home.
