Remote Work Statistics 2026: Telework Is Holding at 22%, and the Federal Return to Office Explains Most of the Dip

Remote work statistics from the Bureau of Labor Statistics show that 22.1% of U.S. workers teleworked in an average month of January to September 2026, barely below 22.6% in the same months of 2024. Just under half of them, 10.6% of all workers, teleworked every hour they worked. Federal employees account for most of the decline: their telework rate fell from 33.9% to 17.4%.

Many remote work statistics pages recycle older surveys. This one is built from the government’s own monthly count. We downloaded every telework series BLS has published from the Current Population Survey since the questions were added in October 2022, 47 months of data through Sep 2026, and ranked, compared, and decomposed them. The short answer to whether remote work is fading: the national rate peaked at 23.8% in Oct 2024 and has eased since, but outside the federal government it has barely moved.

Source: BLS Current Population Survey telework series, not seasonally adjusted, Oct 2022 to Sep 2026. Oct 2025 data were not collected because of the federal government shutdown.

The atlas splits the workforce into two worlds. In 2026, telework rates of 40% or more were limited to 4 occupation groups: computer and mathematical, business and financial operations, legal, and arts, design, entertainment, sports, and media. At the other end, 8 groups never reached 10% in any month since 2022: protective service, farming, fishing, and forestry, production, installation, maintenance, and repair, building and grounds cleaning and maintenance, construction and extraction, transportation and material moving, and food preparation and serving related. Most rows change little from month to month; the visible swings are in the darkest rows at the top.

Average monthly telework rate, January to September. Same months are compared because the data are not seasonally adjusted.

Computer and mathematical remain the most remote group at 62.0%, but they also fell further than any other occupation group: down 6.4 points from 68.4% in 2024. The drop is split between hybrid and full-time remote work. The share of computer and math workers teleworking some hours went from 28.8% to 26.8%, and the share teleworking all hours from 39.6% to 35.2%. Even so, more than 6 in 10 people in these jobs still telework in a typical week. For anyone hiring technical staff, telework remains the norm for the role, in a labor market where our analysis of the 2026 tech job market found openings far below their 2022 peak.

Share of people at work who teleworked, monthly, not seasonally adjusted.

Telework climbed from 17.9% in Oct 2022 to a peak of 23.8% in Oct 2024. Since then it has drifted down: the January to September average was 22.6% in 2024, 22.4% in 2025, and 22.1% in 2026. In Sep 2026 the rate was 21.9%, or 34.7 million people.

The two kinds of telework grew differently. Between January to September 2023 and the same months of 2024, hybrid telework (some hours) rose from 9.1% to 11.7%, while fully remote work (all hours) went only from 10.3% to 10.9%. Hybrid drove the climb. The decline since then is small and shared: hybrid is at 11.5% and fully remote at 10.6% in 2026. Fully remote work has stayed between 10.3% and 10.9% of workers in every January to September period since 2023. People who telework do about 67% of their hours from home, and telework accounted for 15.3% of all hours worked in January to September 2026.

The federal return to office, in the data

On January 20, 2025, a presidential memorandum directed executive branch agencies to end remote work arrangements and require employees to work in person full time. The CPS reference week for January 2025 fell before that date, so it serves as the baseline: 32.8% of federal workers teleworked that month. By Sep 2025 the rate was 14.9%.

Monthly telework rate by class of worker. Private wage and salary excludes the incorporated self-employed.

Federal employees are only 2.6% of people at work, but their drop was large enough to move the national number. We split the change in the national rate between January to September 2024 and January to September 2026 (-0.49 points) by class of worker. The fall in the federal telework rate alone accounts for -0.41 points, about 84% of the national decline. Private wage and salary workers, three quarters of the workforce, moved from 21.4% to 21.2%, and the self-employed teleworked more. State government telework (24.8%) is back to its 2024 level.

The timing has two phases. From 2024 to 2025, the private rate was flat (21.4% to 21.5%) and the federal change explains the whole national dip. From 2025 to 2026, private-sector telework eased to 21.2% and contributed -0.28 points of the -0.23-point change. That second phase is small, but it is the first year-over-year decline for private-sector workers in this series on a same-months basis.

Rates are telework counts divided by people at work, summed over January to September of each year. Rate effect is the change in each group’s telework rate weighted by its average share of people at work; share effect is the shift in each group’s share of employment. Together they sum to the national change from 2024 to 2026. The six groups exclude unpaid family workers, so the all-workers rates here can differ from the headline rate by a few hundredths of a point.

Remote work by industry

Industry rates are what an MSP sees across a client roster. Professional and technical services and finance and insurance have the highest telework rates, both above 55%, while construction, retail, transportation, and food service sit near or below 10%.

Remote work compared with before the pandemic

The CPS telework questions only start in October 2022, so for a pre-pandemic baseline we use the American Time Use Survey, which asks where people did their work on the diary day. Its measure is broader (any work done at home on a day worked, including a few evening hours), so its levels run higher than the CPS rate. The trend is what counts: the share of employed people doing some work at home on days they worked rose from 18.6% in 2003 to 23.7% in 2019, jumped to 38.1% in 2021, and was 34.5% in 2025. That is 10.8 points above 2019, with no sign of a return to the old level. Among workers with a bachelor’s degree or higher, it was 51.4% in 2025 against 37.2% in 2019.

What this means for MSPs

Plan for a stable remote base, not a return to the office. 34.7 million people teleworked in Sep 2026. The fully remote share has stayed between 10% and 11% since 2023, so roughly 1 in 10 client users will rarely, if ever, sit on a client’s office network. Patching, backup, and device compliance for those users have to work over the internet, through cloud management, without depending on a VPN connection that a laptop may never open.

Hybrid is where the growth came from, and it is harder to secure. The 11.5% who telework some hours carry the same device between home and office networks. That argues for identity and device-health checks at sign-in rather than trust based on network location, and for tracking which client devices have not checked in from any network recently. Remote access gateways remain a target: in our coding of CISA ransomware advisories, exploits of public-facing applications appeared in 73% of them, which is why VPN and remote desktop appliances belong at the top of any patch priority list.

Read your client mix against the industry table. A roster of accounting, insurance, legal, and professional services firms is dealing with telework rates above 50%, where remote help desk sessions, home network issues, and collaboration tooling dominate tickets. A roster of contractors, manufacturers, and retailers has rates near 10% to 20%, where on-site support and shared devices matter more. The same per-seat price can hide very different support loads.

Government clients changed fastest. If you support federal agencies or contractors, the fall from 33.9% to 17.4% means more people back on office networks, more strain on office Wi-Fi and conference rooms, and less on remote access capacity. State government telework did not follow; it is at 24.8%.

Frequently asked questions

What percentage of Americans work remotely in 2026?

In an average month from January to September 2026, 22.1% of people at work teleworked or worked at home for pay for at least part of the survey week, according to the BLS Current Population Survey. In Sep 2026 that was 21.9%, or 34.7 million people.

Is remote work going away in 2026?

No. The telework rate for January to September 2026 (22.1%) is only 0.5 points below the same months of 2024 (22.6%), and most of that drop came from federal employees. In the American Time Use Survey, 34.5% of employed people did some work at home on days they worked in 2025, against 23.7% in 2019.

What percentage of jobs are 100% remote?

BLS does not classify jobs as remote, but it does count people who teleworked all of their hours in the survey week: 10.6% of people at work in January to September 2026, a little under half of everyone who teleworked. Another 11.5% teleworked some of their hours.

How rare is it to have a fully remote job?

About 1 in 9 workers teleworked every hour they worked in an average month of 2026. It is far more common in some fields: 35.2% of people in computer and mathematical occupations teleworked all hours, against under 1% in food preparation and serving.

Which jobs have the most remote workers?

Computer and mathematical (62.0%), business and financial operations (54.3%), and legal (52.8%) had the highest telework rates in January to September 2026. Food preparation and serving related had the lowest, at 1.1%.

Which state has the most remote workers?

In 2025, the District of Columbia had the highest telework rate (49.5%). Among the 50 states, Massachusetts led at 31.6%, followed by Colorado (29.5%) and Oregon (29.3%). Mississippi was lowest at 8.4%.

Methodology

Sources. U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics: Current Population Survey (CPS) telework series from the LN time-series database flat files, using the series IDs BLS lists in its monthly telework series workbook (tables 1 and 2); state telework tables for 2023, 2024, and 2025 annual averages; and the American Time Use Survey (ATUS) work-at-home series (TU database). All retrieved October 2026. The CPS data run from Oct 2022 to Sep 2026, the latest month published at retrieval.

Definitions. A person teleworked if they teleworked or worked at home for pay at any time during the survey reference week, generally the week containing the 12th of the month. The rate is the share of people at work that week (employed people absent all week are excluded). Some hours means they teleworked part of their work hours; all hours means every hour. We call some hours “hybrid” and all hours “fully remote” for readability; BLS does not ask about formal remote or hybrid arrangements.

Comparisons. The data are not seasonally adjusted, so years are compared on the same months (January to September), using the average of the monthly rates. Class-of-worker rates and the decomposition divide summed telework counts by summed people at work for those months. The decomposition splits the national change into within-group rate changes weighted by average group share, plus shifts in group shares; the two parts sum to the total. BLS introduces updated population controls each January, which can shift counts, so we compare rates rather than levels across years.

Missing data. Oct 2025 CPS data were not collected because of the federal government shutdown, according to BLS. That month is blank in the charts, and BLS’s 2025 state averages cover 11 months. As a check, the 11-month average of the national monthly rates for 2025 is 22.4%, matching the 22.4% BLS published in the state table.

Limitations. CPS estimates for small occupation and industry groups are based on fewer survey responses and can swing month to month. The ATUS measure counts any work at home on a diary day and is not comparable in level with the CPS rate. ATUS also lost diaries from September 30 to November 11, 2025 during the shutdown; BLS reweighted the remaining fourth-quarter diaries and says the effect on 2025 estimates cannot be quantified. Federal policy dates come from the White House memorandum; we do not attribute the federal decline to any single agency action beyond what the timing shows.

Not advice. This is an analysis of public labor statistics, not workforce, legal, or security advice for any organization.
