The US Labor Department released a new survey this week which reports that 72.5% of business establishments said their employees teleworked "rarely or not at all" last year, a jump from the 60% who said so in a 2021 survey.
An establishment is defined in the government's survey as a "business location," with everything from a 500K SF office campus to a fast-food franchise counted as a single entity. The Labor Department says the 2022 non-teleworking benchmark is approaching the 76.7% pre-pandemic level.
According to the government survey, 21M more workers were on-site full time in 2022, compared to 2021. The survey said hybrid work decreased by 13% last year, with a significant drop in the financial sector, from 45% to 22%. However, the survey showed an increase in fully remote work to 11.1% in 2022, compared to 10.3% in 2021.
