Abstract: The COVID-19 pandemic led to a large increase in the practice of working from home, with over one-third of US-employed individuals involved in remote work (for coronavirus reasons) in May 2020. This study examines the effects of having a creative occupation on remote work between May 2020 and September 2021. Results show that indi-viduals with Creative Economy occupations were more likely than oth-ers to work from home for COVID-19 reasons, which is consistent with creative workers having more job flexibility and a greater ability to adapt to economic shocks. Although members of the creative core (e.g., pro-grammers, artists, and scientists) and creative professionals (e.g., finan-cial analysts) were both able to pivot to remote work at the beginning of the pandemic, heterogeneity in the effects on working from home in later months suggests that individuals in the creative core were more apt than creative professionals to return to pre-pandemic work arrangements.
