COVID‑19 Telecommuting

New report suggests Canadian hospitality industry could loose up to $20b in revenues in the next year, of which 30% may be due to telecommuting.

The Agri-Food Analytics Lab at Dalhousie University, in partnership with Caddle, conducted a highly comprehensive nation-wide survey to assess how many Canadians are thinking of changing their lifestyle to spend more time working from home. 10,851 Canadians were surveyed on telecommuting and food expenses at the end of July 2020.
