Curious about what % of US workforce have jobs that CANNOT be performed remotely. (In middle of debate with friend)

So I’m talking to my friend about remote work, and we both realized that while we are very familiar with stats about how many US workers work remote at least part of the time (22% as of 2025), we don’t really have a grasp of how much of the workforce are in jobs that cannot be performed remotely. Do people think it’s about half? I’m guessing it’s half.

And I don’t mean jobs where “they won’t let you work remote.” I mean literally jobs where it’s like physical labor or a car mechanic.
I’m counting pretty much all healthcare jobs (doctors, nurses, techs), anyone in retail or food service, anything like a cop or sanitation worker, agriculture, construction.

What’s your favorite placement of your own chart? And what’s your least favorite placement you have?

My favorite? like that my Sun, Rising and North Node are all in the same sign (Leo) — it means who I truly am, who I present myself to be, and who I am supposed to become, are all the same thing, and I’m a very authentic person.

My least favorite placement of my own is my Mars in Libra. I don’t wanna strive hard for anything. “Work seems like a lot of work.”

It’s basically about Eric Andre, who comes off as a creep. (Also, Kendall Jenner has a quick cameo)
