Half The US Wants To Work From Home Forever

The coronavirus has ruined a lot of parts of daily life, but the majority of people that are still employed agree that it has upgraded their work-life. It turns out this free trial of working remotely isn’t too shabby.

A new poll found that more than half of the people in the U.S. say they want to continue working from home following COVID-19. And the other half must still be trying to figure out how to make a Zoom account. That’s just a guess, though.

Interestingly, while every generation is into the idea of never going into the office again, baby boomers are feeling it the most. Just about 75% of the boomers said they wanted to kiss the cubicle life goodbye for good. Meanwhile, even though 80% of millennials said we’re more productive at home, only 50% of us said they’d want to work there forever. 

Despite the self-reported productivity boost, nearly two-thirds of people in the U.S. say their employers won’t allow them to keep working out of their home office.
