View of remote working for various industries

The viability of remote working varies across industries. Some industries, such as technology and consulting, have been able to successfully implement remote work for the majority of their employees. Other industries, such as retail and hospitality, may have more difficulty transitioning to remote work due to the nature of their business operations. Additionally, some jobs within a given industry may be more suitable for remote work than others. Overall, the ability to successfully implement remote work will depend on a variety of factors, including the specific industry and job function, as well as the technology and processes in place to support remote work. It is a no-brainer that it is easy for a knowledge worker (who primarily works on a computer) to work from home versus a manufacturing worker who must go to the factory or a taxi driver who must drive the taxi on the road and take passengers from one location to another.
