How to work from home without hurting your back or losing focus
More than six months ago, many of us had to scramble to create a home office.
Now, nearly half of the U.S. labor force is working from home full-time.
We’re slumped over laptops on the couch, crouched over a desk that’s too short, or slouching over the only counter space available. And the distractions that come with working from home can make it harder to stay focused and do our job.
Two experts joined MPR News host Angela Davis to talk about why an ergonomically correct workstation is important and offered tips on being productive. She also checked in on the state of the economy with MPR News senior economics contributor Chris Farrell.
Guests:
