Demand for office space may see a huge decrease once stay-at-home orders are lifted, according to a new survey by Global Workplace Analytics.
Seventy-six percent of office workers in the world, and 82% of US workers responded that they would prefer to work from home some or all of the time. Only 6% said they would never return to the office.
In Europe, the results were similar, though slightly lower in the desire to continue to remote work. The majority of workers seemed to prefer a balance of both remote work and going into the office, with only 16% of workers in the US saying they would abandon working in an office altogether.
