BENTON HARBOR, Mich., Dec. 10, 2020 /PRNewswire/ With 2020 drawing to a close, many are speculating about when life will return to normal. But experts say COVID-19 has forever changed the world already–including life at home. To understand how the pandemic will impact life at home in the long-term, home appliance manufacturer Whirlpool Corporation has commissioned new research to understand how lives have changed in 2020.
The report has found that more than half of U.S. adults (53 percent) surveyed are spending on average an extra 7.4 hours at home each day, equating to over two extra days at home per week. This has created positive shifts in dynamics in households–which experts predict could remain for the long-term.
