PRO Unlimited is an Integrated Workforce Management (IWM) platform, provider. According to their latest Labor Market Report, most people prefer hybrid and remote work options. If we ever get to a post-pandemic scenario, 89% of U.S. Workers would like to continue with hybrid or remote work options. Indeed, 60% of workers migrated to less expensive locations keeping the same position with diverse incentives.
In addition, the report shows that employers risk losing 58% of future candidates without remote arrangements. Based on a Q3 2021 survey of 300.000 U.S. workers, here are the report’s key findings:
- 36% of workers earning $65/hour moved to more affordable towns like Tucson, Las Vegas, and Sacramento. Only 34% of tech workers moved out of California. But 66% changed cities.
- 88% of workers prefer remote work for lack of commute, money savings (71%), and flexible schedule (67%).
- The Tech industry is the one with the most remote work options. 66% of employees prefer to work remotely full-time, and 34% only accept full remote positions. Finally, 61% and 47% of software engineers want full-time remote roles.
As the pandemic forces new restrictions, hybrid, and remote work options are still the most popular options among employers and employees alike.
