"The anticipated uptick in the percentage working from home at least one day per week was echoed among nearly all employee subgroups regardless of industry, household income and language," the survey added.
Twenty-six percent of the respondents said they had changed jobs in the past two year, with nearly a third — 30% — saying they had done so for better pay. Twelve percent said they had done so because they wanted a flexible schedule, a number matched by those saying they wanted to change careers.
Eleven percent had changed employers after a layoff, the survey showed.
The Remote Work Policies and Practices Survey was prepared for SANDAG by True North Research.
