A decline in remote work from earlier in the pandemic is just one piece of the story. Here's some recent federal data on the work-from-home landscape.
During the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic, the sudden shift to remote work for many launched a wave of think pieces about whether the trend would keep up once the threat of the coronavirus was less imminent. Now, as the Biden administration plans to end the public health emergency come May, recent federal data has the answer: Sort of.
This government data suggests that employers that offered remote work earlier in the pandemic are now pulling some workers back into offices. From July to September 2021, the percentage of establishments with some employees teleworking was 29.8%; during the period from August to September 2022, that percentage dropped to 16.4%.
The decline in remote work from earlier in the pandemic is just one piece of the story. From another angle, there are still more remote workers than before the pandemic. BLS data shows that, in February 2020, just 23.3% of private establishments had employees working remotely some or all of the time. From August to September 2022, those establishments had 27.5% of their employees teleworking some or all of the time.
