After surging in the week following Labor Day, office occupancy dipped a bit in New York last week.
New York offices were 46.1% full in the week ended Sept. 21, according to card-swipe data from Kastle Systems, down slightly from 46.6% the previous week. The trend was the same across the US, as the average occupancy in 10 big cities also eased off, from 47.5% to 47.3%. The only cities that saw real increases in workers returning were the tech hub of San Jose, where staffers are increasingly nervous about layoffs, and Houston.
