Work From Home Hotspots: These US States Have the Most Remote Employees
06.10.2023 - 15:39 / pcmag.com
Working from home is clearly here to stay, but different parts of the US have adopted it at varying rates.
A new study by SelectSoftware Reviews reveals the percentage of workers in each state who worked remotely at least one day in the past week. This is based off US Census Bureau's Household Pulse Survey, which polled a range of demographics.
Colorado came out on top with the highest percentage of remote workers (37.34%), followed by Maryland (37.01%), and Massachusetts (36.36%). The states with the fewest percentage of remote workers are Mississippi (11.93%), Louisiana (13.68%), and Wyoming (15.51%).
Keep in mind, nearly two-thirds (63.2%) reported not working remotely at all. But of those that do, most (13.2%) reported doing it full-time, or five days a week, with a smaller portion (5.7%) staying at home part time, or 3-4 days.
However, similar data from Blind, an anonymous messaging board for professionals, has found that employees at large companies like Amazon, Apple, PepsiCo, and others are more likely to have hybrid positions than fully remote ones. Most employees report working 3-4 days in the office (estimated 14 million employees nationwide), as compared with 1-2 days (7.9 million), or fully remote (1.3 million). Ultimately, it likely depends on the industry and how much work can be done on a laptop.
The US Census Bureau survey did identify a few clear trends, though. It found that most remote workers have at least a Bachelor's degree (56.8%), although at least some percentage of survey respondents across all educational levels reported working from home (including 1.8% with less than a high school education.) Income-wise, most are earning above $100,000.
Millennials (ages 25-39) work from home the most, at 36.5%, followed by Gen X (40-54 years). The survey found a roughly even gender split across all respondents, at 49.6% male and 46.4% female. Remote workers are also overwhelmingly white (64.8%) and married (62%).
So, who is most likely to be wearing pajamas on their lower half of a video call? According to this data, they're most likely to be white, educated, married, millenials living in the northern part of the country. However, it's also clear that working from home spans all demographics and locations, and has become commonplace across the country.
