It's been promoted in Canada as "the future". All work from home, and as many as possible are trying to do it. They are trying to replace the education institution by putting as much online as possible. Which is hit and miss, especially since so many can cheat, and/or it isn't viable for certain age groups.
In my estimation this will be a big push to simply outsource jobs and industries to cheap locations, they won't even have to lift a finger, simply move an Employee ID# to someones home overseas. Many industries haven't been at risk recently may now be at risk I presume. People won't be able to organize since all workers are from home anyways and co-workers don't even see one another let alone know one another. We will all become faceless and nationless. Just accept that the person you are investing with or doing critical business with could be anywhere in the world. It's like that now to some degrees, but this will involve more critical businesses and activities.
If all of this is in fact the move for businesses there is one major industry that will collapse: commercial real estate. It should be an interesting time.
