A significant number of workers are resistant to returning to the office full-time, with recent polls showing that 46% would consider quitting if remote work was eliminated. Employers are increasingly enforcing return-to-office policies, with 75% of workers now required to be in the office a set number of days, up from 63%. Remote work has become integral to many workers' lifestyles, providing better work-life balance, perceived financial gains, and a reduction in turnover for companies. Economists believe that this shift towards remote work is now a permanent aspect of the U.S. labor market.
Workers consistently cite a better work-life balance as a "huge benefit" of remote work, and the financial value of hybrid work is seen as equivalent to an 8% raise.
The data underscores how comfortable people have become with the remote work arrangement, showing it really fits in with their lifestyle.
A Pew Research Center poll found that 46% of workers would be somewhat or very unlikely to stay if their employer scrapped remote work.
Many economists think that the higher prevalence of remote work has become an entrenched feature of the U.S. labor market.
