"A new analysis from the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) tracked monthly surveys of about 8,000 U.S. workers ages 20 to 64 throughout 2025 to understand where and how people work. The study found two strong patterns: working from home is significantly more common at younger firms and at companies led by younger CEOs. Employees at companies founded after 2015 work from home nearly twice as often as those at firms started before 1990, underscoring how organizational age and culture shape flexibility,"
"Remote work is expected to surge again in the next decade as boomer and Gen X executives retire and are replaced by millennial and Gen Z leaders who favor flexibility. A National Bureau of Economic Research study of 8,000 U.S. workers showed employees at younger firms founded after 2015 work from home almost twice as often as those at companies founded before 1990."
Monthly surveys of about 8,000 U.S. workers ages 20 to 64 throughout 2025 tracked where and how people work. Working from home is significantly more common at younger firms and at companies led by younger CEOs. Employees at companies founded after 2015 work from home nearly twice as often as those at firms started before 1990. When the CEO is under 30, average work-from-home reaches around 1.4 days per week versus about 1.1 days when the CEO is 60 or older. As older executives retire and older firms shrink or fold, more of the labor force will migrate into remote-friendly organizations. Baby boomer and older Gen X leaders tend to push in-office norms while many millennial and Gen Z leaders prefer flexibility.
