A huge amount of spending came from the increase in people working from home. We saw about $400 billion in extra spending and it appears to be related to working from home. If I am at home, it's more convenient, because I can easily order without anyone looking over my shoulder, if your laptop screen is facing out and people see you buying clothes.
In U.S. zip codes with a large share of the population working remotely, online spending levels were up. The same trend applies internationally, with countries offering more remote work opportunities seeing a 4% increase in online spending.
