Recently, birth rates have increased by 6.2 percent in the USA with the home-office working system. Do you prefer working from home or office?

[gayesblog]

According to the study published by the National Bureau of Economic Research, birth rates have increased with the work from home system started after the Covid-19 pandemic. Opinions???

[Twalli]

I don't have a choice.

Working from home or not working at all would increase the pregnancy rate. People like sex, and if they are not opposed to procreation, they are more likely to get pregnant when they have more time to have sex. Most of the time people wake up, eat, go to work, come home, eat, watch tv, sleep. Sex has to be made time for. If you don't have the several hours a day away from home, the commute time is freed up. That means you can eat dinner earlier and still have free time. So giving you 20+ minutes of free time means you have more than enough time for sex, and you don't have to make time for it.

In November 2019, I asked a woman I know (a few years younger than me) if she wanted kids. She was married and she said, eventually. 3 months into the pandemic, she was pregnant. So she wasn't trying to prevent pregnancy, but she had to make time for sex, which meant she didn't have it often. Remove both their commute times, and suddenly the time for sex is there.

I think sex is for anyone below 45 or 50.

[Twalli]

@TenderFantasy People have sex past that age. My point is that with jobs and such, you have to have time for sex if you want it regularly and that usually requires forethought and planning. Yet, if you are home all the time because you work from home or don't work, there's a lot more free time.

Well, when you've got nothing else to do when you're locked down, fucking is a priority. Maybe the illimunazi's should've thought of that before they drops covid on us!!
I would PREFER working from home but, it'd be hard to install a full print shop in the living room!!

Well I’m a college student, but most of my senior year in HS was from home, and I hated it! There was NO WAY I learned anywhere near what I would have, had I been in school! Most fellow students didn’t ever have their cameras on so who knows what they were doing? Not to mention the socialization! School is a place to learn, but socialization is a very important part of school, and so is socialization AT WORK! Now, I was lucky enough to have a boyfriend b4 the lockdowns began, so I had a boyfriend all through the lockdowns, but many of my friends were single, and w/o any way to meet anyone, they stayed single… That’s horrible!

[shyonehere]

Office for sure. Staying at home can be cozy at first, but you end up just being lazier and losing your drive and of course you don't develop good social skills and leadership values start diminishing... so much bad starts evolving and you start sliding into poorer traits. There's a major difference in going out with friend or having friends on fb... going to the movies or watching Netflix... going out to a new restaurant or ordering Door Dash... go live life and have real in-person coworkers.

[Red-Blaze]

I prefer q mixture, so you get the office social life but also got days of qruit at home working with a PJ and some slip on the side in case of a video call
Sadly my work place insist on working from office, so mostly there, and sadly. not much on the social aspect here :( hopping next place will have it

[Kori1236]

If I worked from home I would get nothing done. I mean I’m productive at home but there are distractions that would take me away from my work. As for kids I don’t want them; but hypothetically working from home would be beneficial for child rearing providing the job is understanding and accommodating.

[CubsterShura]

Yeah I'm not surprised, many people saw lockdown and working from home as an opportunity to have a baby because they can give more time to the baby this way. I'm not from the US but even for me I've seen some people in my extended family having babies at this time for this reason.

[Anonymous]

It's simple. People were not working and locked up with their partners. My wide got pregnant around the start of covid because we were both at home and I was on her like a horny dog. Everytime she got dressed, took a shower, took a bath, woke up, went to sleep, exercised, bent over etc. Was one time she was bent over searching through a cupboard, I got hard and pulled down her yoga pants and stuck it in

[bamesjond0069]

My wife got pregnant pretty quick after covid started... they said the masks would keep us safe so we had sex with masks on and she still fell pregnant? How did that happen? I thought masks would prevent that?

The funny thing is the kid must have got the covid with all the crazy symptoms because he came out looking black. We're both white and I think that's a rare side effect, darkening of the skin. Whew... pandemics be crazy but what you gonna do?

[Qdbrown]

Well seeing that we all non-blacks have African genes in us from more than a many centuries ago, it's probably some really rare recessive gene. LoL!

[bamesjond0069]

@Qdbrown the covid activated it maybe

[integrale77]

I've worked from home now for 10-15 years I prefer it because I have control over my environment and no traveling in traffic to and from work.

Oh and I don't have to wear a pointless uniform in a job where all our customers phone in!

[melanieeeB]

Working from home is definitely easier for your private life and gives you more a freedom... I definitely prefer it

[Anonymous]

Yes, I've been working from home for a year now. I kind of wish I had switched a couple years earlier. I'm actually more productive without others slowing me down so I get my work done quicker which leaves more "ME" time. And with no commute I'm able to sleep a little longer and don't have to worry about morning ablution. I only worry that overall it's making me soft. 🤣

[bayoubob]

This is a stupid question. Too generic. Results Only Work Environments have been in place for 20 years. What your stats are telling us now is, what? Nothing. You are acting as if this was "NEW" due to COVID?

[dustybiker]

6% isn’t really that much. Assuming people were still on birth control.

Second Q. I liked being able to work out of the home. It’s refreshing. Home work has it’s benefits, too. 50/50.

[Anonymous]

If I could find a job that would pay the bills and allow me to work from home I would take that job so fast All my current employer would see of me is a momentary dust double of me as I ran out the door like the flash after a case of red bull. Lol.

[Guy13]

This makes total sense as all we could do was have sex and fight up under one another all the time... or fight and divorce.

[TroyDT2]

Increased from what level? Is it a decade long trend, or just a blip due to the drop off during the lock downs?

[Fireguy17]

nope I like to get out of the house.
You can't miss it unless you go away.

[Cubus]

I checked and it's true. It rose from 1.64 to 1.78. We should analyse it and continue the trend.

[Anonymous]

Can we finally close the floodgates to economic migrant freeloaders now that we are population positive domestically?

[JonesT19]

yeah I do work from home... 2/3 days... office work..

[es20490446e]

I prefer working at home, with the door closed and a strict policy of no distractions.

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

Oh but the idiots on here were blaming feminism for why people aren't having kids. Interesting... 🙄

[Anonymous]

Doubtful. It’s probably due to the massive influx of dirty Mexicans, Guatemalans, and Haitians who breed like vermin because they can’t read.

[boobliker]

I work for myself so I am always at home or in the cab

[Mangospacho]

Working from home is much more convenient, especially with kids.

[gerald5466]

because people have more time alone with their partners so they have more time to make babys

[KrakenAttackin]

Birth rates increased because of the lockdowns, coincidentally so has the divorce rates.

[Bklynbadboy12]

I wish I could work from home unfortunately in my profession I can't

[Anonymous]

Good they are drastically going down in the rest of the world.

[Avicenna]

I’d work from home if I could

[TheSpaceGnome]

Home office is best.
