The government’s latest annual American Time Use Survey (ATUS), covering calendar year 2022, shows an unsurprising drop in the percentage of U.S. workers working at home since the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic, although at-home work is still much more common than it was pre-COVID. The survey, conducted by the Department of Labor’s Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), indicates that in 2022, almost 34% of workers worked at home on an average day, which is up from just over 22% in 2019 but down from almost 42% at the height of the pandemic in 2020.
