Workers with in-person jobs spend about $51 a day that they wouldn't remotely, survey finds
View Date:2024-12-23 20:22:08
From getting stuck in traffic and the extra effort put into getting dressed, many employees would much rather clock in from home. However, a recent survey found that one of the biggest reasons could simply be how costly it is to make money.
Owl Lab's 2023 "State of Work" report found 66% of U.S. employees who returned to the office to work five days a week or full time, spend an average of $51 every workday.
“There’s no question” about whether working in-person is “wildly more expensive” today than it was before the pandemic, the videoconferencing company's CEO Frank Weishaupt told CNBC.

Working in the office costs pet owners an extra $20 a day on average, the report states.
The report also states that 49% of workers feel it's easier to maintain a work life balance with a remote job while 31% believe it's easier with a hybrid and only 20% at the office.
The survey shares information on what work tasks are easier to complete during a remote shift, what perks exist at the office and which work models managers feel their teams better thrive in.

The report found that employees working at the office pay about $51 a day on the following expenses:
- $14 (Commute)
- $8 (Parking)
- $13 (Breakfast/coffee)
- $16 (Lunch)
