The amount of time Americans spent at home increased markedly during the COVID-19 pandemic, only to decrease slightly afterward, remaining elevated compared to pre-pandemic levels.
Sharkey's analysis indicates a universal increase in time spent at home across all demographics, although those with higher income and education showed particularly significant rises.
Interestingly, research reveals that individuals living alone tend to be more socially connected than those who live with others, a contrast to typical assumptions about isolation.
The findings of the American Time Use Survey demonstrate a notable trend: Americans now spend, on average, 1 hour and 39 minutes more at home daily than they did in 2003.
