The pandemic increased the popularity of remote work, forcing people to work from home. As the world readjusted to the new normal, telecommuting became a middle ground where businesses and remote workers could meet halfway. A recent McKinsey survey reported that 58 percent of Americans embrace the opportunity to work from home at least once a week. The same research reveals that 35 percent have the option to work from home five days a week. When given the option to work with a flexible schedule, 87 percent of respondents take it. These respondents represent a variety of demographics, including occupations and locations.
