Hey Kevin, welcome to YT. I'm glad you are enjoying your new puppy. As has already been said, housebreaking take tons of patience. Some yorkies learn fast but as a rule, they are one of the hardest breeds to house train.
Your puppy really doesn't need the amount of space you are giving him. They are so little that they are fine in a smaller space and he's probably sleeping most of the time you are away. You might see faster results with an x-pen. When I was training Sugar, I covered the whole bottom of the x-pen with potty pads and gradually took them away, one by one until there was only one left. It worked for us because that way at first, Sugar didn't have any other option but to use the potty pad and as we decreased the amount, he was used to using them and just went to them.
Good luck. Can't wait to see pictures of the little guy.
