Among those whose job types went remote in pandemic, they were ~7.5% more likely to spend a typical day w/o social contact, 4% more likely to have zero human contact

Also it is not remote workers. It is "remotable" workers, people who have jobs that could potentially be done remotely.
That's important info! I'm also interested in outside factors, but those are probably too big and complex to study. For context, I started a remote job in 2021 and was desperately lonely... because I was forced to move to a new country, to a city where I had no friends. Those kinds of factors.
