The government’s latest American Time Use Survey (ATUS), which covers calendar year 2023, shows that full-time male employees are catching up to full-time female employees in the time they spend working from home on an average day. While the percentage difference in female FTEs compared with male FTEs working at home was reported as just over 12% in 2022, in 2023 the difference shrank to less than 3%. The latest survey results indicate that slightly over a third of all FTEs work at home on an average day.
The ATUS is an annual report from the Department of Labor’s Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). It breaks down the various activities in which Americans engage during a given day, including work and work-related activities, and whether they are performed at home.
