Thirty-five percent of workers in jobs that can be done remotely aren’t swayed by free coffee or ping pong tables. They’re working from home entirely. 

That’s according to a new survey from the Pew Research Center, which polled nearly 6,000 American adults in February. That one-third may seem like a lot, but it’s actually trending downwards. In January 2022, 43% of remote-capable workers worked fully from home, compared to the 55% who did so in October 2020. But it’s still way higher than the 7% of workers who were fully remote pre-pandemic, the research firm found.
