Since the COVID-19 pandemic began in 2020, remote work flourished as businesses adapted to lockdowns. However, a recent LinkedIn survey reveals a decline in remote work opportunities, shifting from 46% remote work in late 2020 to only 26% by February 2025. Major companies like JPMorgan Chase and Amazon are now encouraging employees to return to physical offices, signaling a broader trend away from remote positions. While hybrid work has seen a slight increase, the overall data indicates a shrinking market for remote jobs as employers prioritize onsite attendance.
The LinkedIn Workforce Confidence Survey indicates a notable decline in remote work since 2020, with an increasing number of employees transitioning back to onsite employment.
As of February 2025, 55% of employees worked mostly onsite compared to just 26% working remotely, marking a significant shift towards traditional office environments.
The data suggests that while remote work surged due to the pandemic, the trend is reversing as companies like JPMorgan Chase and Amazon push for in-office work.
Despite the decline in remote work opportunities, hybrid work has shown a slight increase, highlighting a potential new balance between remote and onsite employment.
