52% of employed parents with children younger than 12 say it has been difficult to handle child care responsibilities during the pandemic.
The abrupt closure of many offices and workplaces this past spring ushered in a new era of remote work for millions of employed Americans and may portend a significant shift in the way a large segment of the workforce operates in the future.
