The latest: The ARC's Regional Commuter Survey, which was conducted last year, collected responses from more than 6,000 employed people across the 20-county region. 20% of respondents said they telework full time, up from 6% in 2019, the last time the ARC did the survey. Nearly 60% of respondents said they telework "at least occasionally," compared to 43% in 2019. Close to 75% of households that earned more than $200,00 a year teleworked occasionally.
