Do we know this to be true or was the availability of remote work a way to bring disabled people into the workforce?

See how things flattened out, even declined slightly, in the 2d half of '23? Likely the f/x of retrn to ofc.
Long COVID affects betw. 15-30% of all those who've had COVID, & is disabling. Min. 120 million COVID cases = min 16 million LC cases. Some can't work but w/the rest the chart looks low

Also, this article on a recent study suggests I am underestimating significantly.

I think this graph is probably deceptive as how many people have become more disabled to the point they are no longer in the labor force meaning this is showing an optimistic picture.
