Working from home is up 16% compared to two decades ago and is here to stay, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ Time Use Survey for 2023. The survey confirmed that approximately 35% of all employed persons in the US spent the average working day doing at least some of their work from home, which is 16% more than two decades ago.
