Office occupancy crosses 50%, a post-pandemic high

Data: Kastle Systems; Chart: Axios Visuals

Office occupancy hit a new post-pandemic record this week, at 50.4%, according to swipe data from Kastle Systems.

Why it matters: Are the offices half-full or half-empty? Some executives might see crossing the 50% milestone as a sign of a comeback. But the figure has largely plateaued since September, hinting at a new reality where people work from home a lot more.
