WFH rates lowest since pandemic, federal data finds

The rate of remote work in U.S. households has hit its lowest point since the pandemic started, data from the latest U.S. Census Bureau Household Pulse Survey reveals.

Why it matters: The decline in remote work amid a post-COVID environment reveals how the push by some companies to get more people into the office is starting to bear fruit.

By the numbers: About 26% of U.S. households said they had someone in their home who worked remotely at least one day per week, according to the most recent estimates from the survey, taken between Sept. 20 and Oct. 2.

But in early 2021, that rate hit a peak at 37%, per Bloomberg.
