Whether because of health reasons, a desire to have a work-life balance, or a preference to avoid daily commuting, workers across the country are taking a stand in favor of the home office.

Among those surveyed, 58 percent said they prefer a fully remote job post-pandemic, according to a FlexJobs survey that was carried out in July and August.
