Statewide polling by the Oregon Values and Beliefs Center asks about lasting effects of pandemic on Oregon.

The novel coronavirus has upended nearly every facet of modern life over the past year — but will those changes stick?

U.K. has been blighted for years by weakest productivity since the Industrial Revolution, trailing most of the world’s advanced economies and contributing to depressed wages. That held back the economy long before coronavirus struck and left policy makers searching for solutions.

“While this shift to persistently higher remote working may create challenges in how firms enable collaborative working, in my view it also may have positive effects on the
