"Many of these return-to-office efforts are coming at a time when demand for workers in male-dominated industries has weakened, giving employers the upper hand."
"Many of the jobs in these industries are already in-person roles."
"Nearly 9 in 10 CEOs said in a 2024 survey that they will reward employees who make an effort to come into the office with favorable assignments, raises, or promotions."
"Last year, women earned an average of 85% of what men earned, according to Pew Research Center."
In 2024, data shows that 29% of employed men are working from home, a decrease from the previous year, while the percentage of women working from home remains at 36%. This disparity is linked to return-to-office initiatives in male-dominated sectors like technology, where women comprise a small fraction of the workforce. The return-to-office trend may exacerbate the gender wage gap, as nearly 90% of CEOs plan to favor those who return with promotions and benefits, while women earned only 85% of men’s wages last year.
