Remote Work on the Rise, But Companies Face Costly Challenges.

A new analysis from Pew Research Center finds that about a third of workers with jobs that can be done remotely say they are working from home all of the time, down from 43% in January 2022 and 55% in October 2020, but still far exceeds the 7% of workers who worked from home full-time before the pandemic. The decrease in full-time remote work came close to matching a corresponding rise in the percentage of workers working a hybrid schedule. Pew’s survey also found that many hybrid workers would prefer to work from home more than they do, and while most workers don't think working from home inhibits their career advancement or opportunities, many perceive it hurts their access to mentoring opportunities.
