Persuading Workers To Come Back To The Office Still A Tough Sell

More than six months into the coronavirus pandemic, only about a quarter of office workers have returned to their places of work, a new study has found.

The number of office workers physically at the office on any given workday is particularly anemic in Manhattan, at about 10%, reports The Wall Street Journal, citing data compiled by CBRE. Workers are still skittish about using mass transit, and in some cases need to be home with children who are not physically in school. Suburban New York has about a third of its workers at the office, while metro Dallas has about 40% and metro Los Angeles about 32%.
