I also wrote about the new corporate hiring pitch as D.E.I. goes out of fashion: meritocracy.

nytimes.com

Important point in story from @emmabgo - measuring work from home is complicated, particularly with all the hybrid arrangements that have popped up, and the gov data may not be the most accurate way:
