In 2024, a larger percentage of men are returning to the office compared to women, attributed to male-dominated industries enforcing return-to-work policies. Men's work-from-home rate dropped from 34% to 29%, while women's rate remained at 36%. Female representation in tech fields is low, with women making up only a quarter of jobs in computer and mathematical occupations. CEOs are incentivizing office presence with promotions and raises, raising concerns about escalating gender wage gaps and equitable career advancement.
"Many of these return-to-office efforts are coming at a time when demand for workers in male-dominated industries has weakened, giving employers the upper hand."
"Many of the jobs in these industries are already in-person roles."
