The chart showing worker's preferences seems awkward to me. At first it looks like "wow, people in the US really like working from home 4+ days a week." And then you wonder did they separate out "never" and "rarely"? The cynic in me wonders if lumping them together would have undermined the thesis of the article too much as it would have been a large plurality of all answers.
Or to put it another way, 60%+ of US people want to work remote 2 days or less per week.
That response lines up with my personal experience. While I like working from home occasionally, I don't want to work somewhere where I don't have a desk available 5 days a week.
- boulos 6y agoThey did separate out never and rarely in the original research survey [1]. Edit: The question was "In 2021+ (after COVID) how often would you like to have paid work days at home?“ (surveying "2,500 US residents aged 20 to 64, earning more than $20,000 per year in 2019 carried out between May 21-25"). The results seem to be: - 20% Never - 19% Rarely - 8.2% 1 day - 11.1% 2 days - 11.7% 3 days - 5.4% 4 days - 24.2% 5 days from the diagram [2].
