Even After the Pandemic, 43% Say They’ll Want to Work Remotely More Often



Long-time Slashdot reader gollum123 1 quotes CNBC:

Nearly 43% of full-time American employees say they want to work remotely more often even after the economy has reopened 1, according to a survey released by business publishing company getAbstract. Of the more than 1,200 employees surveyed between April 16 and April 17, nearly 20% said their employer is actively discussing how they can make remote work more of an option in the future…

Andrew Savikas, chief strategy officer at getAbstract, says one of the biggest reasons why employees prefer to work remotely is because they get to save time on their daily commute. On average, Americans spent roughly 27 minutes on their one-way commute to work in 2018, according to the Census Bureau. This equates to over 200 hours spent commuting per year… “People like having that time back,” Savikas says, while adding that employees also like the flexibility of working remotely because they can “structure the day how they want.”


According to a joint CNBC/Change Research survey of more than 5,000 voters in swing states, 47% said the time they would normally spend on commuting has now been used to spend more time with their family. The survey, which gathered responses between April 17 and April 18, also found that employees have been spending the time they save on their commute to sleep more, focus on various hobbies and get more work done.
