The shift to remote work for high-paying jobs will accelerate this year, according to a new report, defying city officials who are desperate to bring workers back and reinvigorate their economies.
More than a quarter of all professional positions in North America, largely concentrated in the U.S., will be fully remote by the end of this year, up from 18% at the end of 2021, according to Ladders Inc., the career site for work that pays at least $100,000. That means more than 20 million jobs will not be going back to the office after the pandemic, Ladders said.
