The agency said that 72.5 percent of establishments, defined as each business location, reported little to no telework among employees between August and September 2022, a 12.4 percent increase from 2021.
Before the pandemic upended the workplace, 76.7 percent of companies reported little to no remote work among their employees.
The percentage of employers reporting that all of their employees were teleworking did not see significant change in 2022, at about 11 percent compared to about 10 percent in 2021.
The percentage of establishments reporting that some of their employees were working from home dropped in 2022. About 16 percent reported that they had some employees working from home, compared to about 30 percent in 2021.
Remote work isn’t completely ending, as companies in “university towns, tech hubs, and government centers,” per Bloomberg, have continued to offer remote positions in 2023.
