The majority of American workers prefer to work remotely, citing benefits such as improved mental health, flexibility, and cost savings. Studies show that remote and hybrid workers are just as productive as in-office employees. Many managers believe remote work enhances team productivity. Hybrid employees tend to work more hours and report higher happiness levels. Surveys indicate a significant number of remote workers would quit if required to return to the office full-time, highlighting the strong employee preference for flexible work arrangements.
A 2025 survey by FTI Consulting noted that 70% of American remote or hybrid workers would quit if forced to return to the office full-time.
The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics agreed in its summary of tracking remote work productivity across 61 different industries pre- and post-pandemic.
The global consultancy firm Advanced Workplace Associates (AWA) found that hybrid employees who work from home at least 3.5 days a week clocked nearly two more hours per week than in-office employees.
According to a 2024 American Staffing Association study, 71% of American workers prefer to work fully, or at least partially, remote.
