Employees in the U.S. who have returned to the office full time are paying a lot to be there, a new study says.

Two-thirds of employees nationwide have returned to the office five days a week but spend $51 per day when they work in person, according to the annual “State of Hyrbrid Work” report, conducted by videoconferencing company Owl Labs.
