Yes, that is a big distinction. Page 39 of this survey may shed some light on that question. Of those who WFH'ed at some point during COVID (essentially anyone who can WFH at all), they asked "In 2022+ (after COVID) how often would you like to have paid work days at home?". The answer set doesn't separate local-only from living anywhere, but it does list 5 days/week as its own answer.



I did see that and, yes, it was a fairly high percentage. But, as you say, it doesn't really distinguish default to WFH from having to get on a plane to come into the office. It's perhaps suggestive that if you want to WFH 5 days a week there's an implication is that it doesn't really matter where you live (domestically, or at least within a timezone or two) but they're not necessarily the same thing.
