Recent LinkedIn data shows that while the number of Americans returning to offices has been increasing since the pandemic's peak, it is now starting to decline again. This suggests that the balance between remote and in-person work is likely to continue shifting.

Many Americans are opting to work from home to save on public transit or gas costs as the economy tightens. Additionally, recent winter storms and cold weather may discourage daily commutes, leading to a preference for remote work.

Employers are encouraging workers to return to the office, but many employees who were hired for in-person roles have found that full attendance isn't necessary. As a result, they are transitioning into hybrid work arrangements, indicating a shift in workplace norms.
