Seattle, Washington, was the city with the highest share of remote workers at 36%, with Washington, D.C., trailing behind at just over one-third per the United States Census American Community Survey. Last year, Washington, D.C., had more than 43% of remote workers, but every single state has declined or stayed the same in its percentage.When it came to metropolitan areas, Boulder, Colorado, had the highest share of remote workers at 32%, and its capital city wasn't far behind.
Maryland, Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Illinois reported lower remote workers than the national average in 2019, which was 5.7%, but by 2022 reported higher percentages than the national average of 15%. Conversely, Idaho, Montana, South Dakota, and Iowa had more remote workers than the average in 2019 and dropped below the average last year.
Mississippi had the fewest remote workers at 5.5%. Its neighboring states in the southeast also report fewer workers than the average.Remote work has lessened commute time.
