A Katz analysis of YouGov data from its biennial tracker looks at the status of the American workforce to see where the country is at the end of 2022 in terms of working from home and commuting.
As informative as these numbers are, they are not absolutes. As many of us are likely experiencing in our own lives, working arrangements are not mutually exclusive. Consumers may have more than one working arrangement in their job, or may work multiple jobs - either of which would necessitate selecting multiple options in the YouGov survey. The data, however, is directional in showing a trending shift from WFH behaviors towards commuting to workplaces outside the home.
As of December 2022, around 7 in 10 employed adults are commuting to a job outside the home, including those who work in a fixed workplace (office, factory, shop etc.) and those who work remotely on the move / from a variety of locations.
Overall commuting has increased +26% over the past two years, with growth seen across age brackets. Employed adults 30-44 are the most likely to report going to work anywhere outside the home at the end of 2022 (76%). Employed adults 45-64 show the highest levels of working from a fixed workplace (58%), while the youngest cohort A18-29 is the most likely to work remotely from a variety of locations (26%).
