A new survey says nearly 80% of New York City employers expect a hybrid work schedule for the foreseeable future. That is good news to many New Yorkers, who say they want the option to have more flexibility.
Furthermore, the survey found roughly 28% are working remotely full-time. That's up from 1% before the pandemic.
"We had a very large population of office workers driving our economy from their Manhattan offices, our subways, and mass transit and mass transit, commuter rail all depended on that population," Wylde said. "So we have to rethink what's happening in the city as we see less participation in office work and more remote work."There used to be about a million people coming into Manhattan every day, into the office every day," Wylde said.
Some New Yorkers told FOX 5 NY that they just wanted the option for a little more flexibility, citing the need for a greater work-life balance, no commute has translated to saving both time and money. Meanwhile, Wylde says the city is hoping to have 50% of the workers back in the office by Labor Day. "Our survey also showed that 57% of the employers say they're going to expand their jobs or at least keep the same number of office jobs in the city in the future," Wylde said. "So that's all positive."
