Three study insights:
- Forty-five percent of employees said they would quit their job or seek out remote work if they were forced to return to the office full time. Sixty-eight percent of employees prefer remote work.
- Sixty-one percent of Americans would be willing to take a pay cut to continue working remotely, the study found. Some employees said they would take up to a 50 percent pay cut to continue working from home, while most employees said they would accept a 10 percent pay cut.
