Though many employees have returned to the office, post-pandemic, a significant number still work remotely at least part of the week.
According to WFH Research, about 27% of paid days in the U.S. were worked from home in March. In the past year, 12% of employees were fully remote, and 26% were in a hybrid arrangement.
About half of employees with four-year college or graduate level degrees work from home at least one day a week. Information (including tech), finance and insurance, and business and professional services industries tend to have larger shares of hybrid and fully remote workers.
WalletHub recently researched which states offer the best work-from-home conditions, It compared all 50 states and the District of Columbia by looking at factors including the percentage of people working remotely, internet costs and cybersecurity, and home size and household crowding.
"Working from home can save people a lot of money on transportation expenses, as well as make their work environment a lot more comfortable and their hours more flexible," said Chip Lupo, WalletHub analyst. "However, things like energy costs, internet speed, home sizes and how many people live together can greatly impact people's savings and productivity. While work-from-home jobs can be done anywhere, certain states make the practice much better than others."
The slideshow above highlights the top 10 states for working from home according to WalletHub.
