159% Increase In Remote Workers Since 2005  

Remote work has been on the rise for several years, even before the COVID-19 pandemic accelerated the trend. According to a report by FlexJobs and Global Workplace Analytics, there has been a 159% increase in remote work since 2005.

However, a survey by Owl Labs found that in 2017, 24% of full-time employees reported working remotely at least part of the time. By 2020, that number had risen to 31%, and the pandemic likely accelerated this trend further. A report by Upwork found that 41.8% of the American workforce was working remotely as of December 2021, up from 28.8% in 2019.

Overall, it is clear that remote work has been on the rise in recent years, and the pandemic has only accelerated this trend.

Remote work continues to be a popular option for many employees, even as some return to the office. According to a survey by McKinsey & Company, 69% of employees would prefer to have the option to work remotely at least some of the time, even after the pandemic subsides.

Additionally, a survey by Owl Labs found that as of January 2022, 61% of full-time employees were working remotely at least some of the time, down slightly from 66% in 2021. However, it's important to note that different surveys and sources may have varying definitions and methodologies for measuring remote work, so these numbers may not be directly comparable.

Overall, remote work appears to be a popular option for many employees and employers moving forward.
