"WASHINGTON - Workers in the nation's capital are twice as likely to head into the office, rather than work from home, compared to the rest of the country, according to new data - and it is all thanks to President Trump. Trump's executive order targeting federal workers getting back into the office has skyrocketed the number of employees working on-site. The number of federal workers in DC who are in the office full-time stands at 46%, according to a Gallup poll released Wednesday."
"That number is more than double the 17% who were working on-site at the end of 2024. The percentage of hybrid workers, who work remotely and on-site, also dropped from 61% to 28% in the same timeframe. Trump implemented an executive order on the first day of his term, Jan. 20, stating that most federal workers have to return to work "as soon as practicable.""
"The order was met with resistance from federal workers who had moved away from their office space in the years after the pandemic and were accustomed to having a remote or hybrid model. However, the trend in DC doesn't reflect the rest of the country. Nationwide, just 21% of workers are heading back to the office full-time, the Gallup data shows."
Federal employees in Washington, D.C. have shifted sharply toward full-time, in-office work, with 46% in the office full-time, up from 17% at the end of 2024. Hybrid employment in D.C. fell from 61% to 28%. President Trump issued an executive order on Jan. 20 directing department and agency heads to terminate remote work arrangements and require employees to return in-person "as soon as practicable," while allowing exemptions as deemed necessary. The order encountered resistance from workers who moved away after the pandemic. Nationwide, only 21% of workers are back full-time on-site, with 51% hybrid and 28% fully remote.
