Global Workplace Analytics current estimate (in 2020) is about 75 million U.S. employees could work-from-home at least part of the time (56% of the workforce).

Nine months into the pandemic, 41.8% of the American workforce remains fully remote.

83% of employers now say the shift to remote work has been successful for the company.

By 2025, 36.2 million Americans will be remote, an increase of 16.8 million people from pre-pandemic rates.

Anywhere from 14 to 23 million Americans are planning to move as a result of remote work.

20.6% of those planning to move are currently based in a major city.

Altogether, more than half (52.5%) are planning to move to a house that is significantly more affordable than their current home.

With 54.7% of people moving beyond daily or even weekly commuting distances, it suggests that most people are not simply moving out to the closest suburb near the office. Instead, it further supports the notion of a growing separation of where people work and where they live.
