Long before a global pandemic normalized working from home, Nicholas Bloom, an economics professor at Stanford University, was crunching numbers on the topic. But even Academia’s biggest cheerleader for hybrid work has been surprised by how much it has stuck. His latest research shows that 60% of Americans and Northern Europeans don’t have a remote option, such as people who work at restaurants or drive cars for a living. Another 30% are hybrid, mostly working from home two days a week, and the remaining 10% are fully remote. “Employees typically want to work from home about three days a week,” he said. “If you interview senior managers, they want more like one. So you have, this almost haggling.”
