US tech workers happy to take less money to stay working remotely

By Kirstie McDermott

Remote work triumphed during the pandemic, but in the time since, tech firms have been shepherding their staff back into the office. 

Getting the job done from home while taking home a hefty pay packet is the dream for many American tech workers, and during the pandemic, many did just that. As of 2023, 12.7% of full-time employees worked from home, with 28.2% working a hybrid schedule, and around 32.6 million (22%) Americans will work remotely by 2025, according to Upwork.
