Hybrid workers are spending their cash on commuting, food, and petcare to work in the office.
  • Data shows workers are living further from the office than they did pre-pandemic.
  • The rise in distance is driven by millennials, who made major life changes during the pandemic.
  • Remote work remains largely reserved for higher earners, who live further from the office.

The hottest post-2020 office trend is living nowhere near your office.

Even after companies tried to bring workers back in person, many resisted the call to return to their cubicles. That's led to some firms accepting the hybrid future of work.
