WFH.team retrieves the official ACS 5-year state replicate-estimate file for table B08301. The work-from-home share divides the Worked from home estimate (order 21) by the Total estimate (order 1).
ACS estimates have sampling error and represent a multi-year period. This commuting measure is not identical to the BLS telework definition.
