"According to data from Placer.ai, first reported by Boston Business Journal, September ranked as the third busiest in-office month since COVID, followed by June and July. Placer.ai uses an office building index that analyzes foot traffic data from around 1,300 top-tier office buildings across the country. Boston saw a measly 9.7% year-over-year growth in office visits this September, compared to 13% nationally. San Francisco at 19% and Atlanta at 17.5% led the pack, with only Washington, D.C. and Miami placing lower than Boston."
"Boston remains 35.6% behind pre-pandemic levels, far behind the national average of 26.3%. As the pandemic continues to fade into recent memory, many Massachusetts companies are rethinking their remote and hybrid work policies, which may explain the uptick in return-to-office visits seen so far. Dell, JPMorgan, Amazon, and AT&T have all announced return-to-office moves, and government entities are also experiencing a shift under the Trump administration."
