Just 8 percent of Manhattan office workers have returned to the office five days a week for in-person work, according to data published on May 9 by the nonprofit organization Partnership for New York City.
Partnership for New York City, a business advocacy group, surveyed more than 160 major employers in the Manhattan borough of New York City from April 21 to May 4, 2022, in an effort to gauge how many of the borough’s one million office workers had returned to the workplace more than two years into the COVID-19 pandemic, and to examine what implications this may have on the future of the Manhattan central business districts.
