We examine the impact of work-from-home (WFH) arrangements on workers' earnings and careers. Using Dutch administrative data matched to survey-based WFH information, we document the persistence of hybrid WFH in teleworkable occupations after the pandemic. Workers in these occupations experience a 7\% rise in labor earnings compared to observationally similar workers in non-teleworkable jobs. The wage increase is driven by more hours worked and, to a lesser degree, higher hourly wages. We also observe higher job mobility for workers in teleworkable jobs, and the earnings effects are especially pronounced among job movers. We provide suggestive evidence that WFH has favored assortative matching in the labor market.
