More New York area service firms think remote work is hurting productivity than helping it, according to a survey released by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.

Among firms from a wide range of industries outside of manufacturing, 30% reported a negative effect on productivity, while 20% indicated a positive effect. The remaining half noted little change, per the data released Tuesday.
