Remote work is showing resilience despite corporate return-to-office crackdowns, with researchers finding that the share of U.S. workers working from home has barely moved over two years. An analysis using Census Bureau Current Population Survey data, reported via the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis, finds about 22% of workers were working remotely or hybrid in recent months. The article also links remote work to downstream labor market impacts, citing research from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York that suggests remote work can contribute to youth unemployment. It adds that employers moving aggressively toward senior hiring may be reshaping entry-level opportunity in a way that affects recent graduates and students transitioning to work. For higher education, the key operational concern is career outcomes: institutions increasingly need internship pipelines and job-readiness supports that function in hybrid labor markets.
