This is the page to create an account for access to the anonymized data from the US Survey of Working Arrangements and Attitudes (SWAA) and/or the Global Survey of Working Arrangements (G-SWA).

With an account, you’ll obtain access to the anonymized data, documentation, and code used in our papers on  “Why Working From Home Will Stick” (Barrero, Bloom, and Davis, 2021) and “Working From Home Around the World” (Aksoy, Barrero, Bloom, Davis, Dolls, and Zarate, 2022). See below for full reference information. You may find both papers in our Research and Policy  page.

Please read the following very carefully, and fill out the required details.
