About the Founding Year Flex Report

According to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), remote work is declining. The BLS found that 40% of US companies allowed some flexibility to work from home in 2021. That number dropped to 27% of companies allowing work from home in 2022, near the pre-pandemic rate (23%).

Yet several prominent researchers have found evidence to the contrary. The latest WFHResearch survey found that 40% of all US full-time employees work from home at least part of the time. And our Q1 2023 Flex Report found that the majority of US companies allow some work location flexibility.

So what's actually happening? Is work from home dying out, or here to stay?
