Nearly 18% of Boston-area workers were still clocking in from home as of 2023, per the latest census data.
Why it matters: Remote and hybrid schedules have made work-life balance an easier equation for many Americans, like busy working parents — but not everyone has the option.
Zoom out: Boston trails work-from-home hotspots Boulder, Colorado; Austin, Texas; and Raleigh, North Carolina, where about a quarter or more of workers were remote in 2023.
Yes, but: The trend over the last few months has been a slow but steady return to the land of cubicles, water cooler chitchat, and harsh fluorescent lighting.
- Many workers are at least enjoying a hybrid schedule, splitting their workdays between home and the office.
