"With several high-profile companies, including JPMorgan, TikTok, and Ford, making headlines over the past year for requiring employees to return to the office, you'd be forgiven for thinking the hybrid jobs model is on its last legs. But survey data recently released by Gallup paints a far different picture, one showing that the hybrid model has broadly taken hold since the COVID pandemic forced many companies to adopt one."
"The percentage of "remote-capable U.S. employees" working under a hybrid model as of May 2025 was 51%, just slightly less than the 52% that were in May 2023. Fully remote workers have remained just as steady over the past two years, down just one percentage point from 29% to 28% based on Gallup's most recent data. At the same time, demand for hybrid working remains high."
"The same Gallup research 60% of "remote-capable employees" prefer a hybrid work arrangement moving forward, while another recent survey by FlexJobs shows that 40% of professionals say a hybrid schedule is their preferred work arrangement. And many employers are responding: new data from FlexJobs shows that several industries have seen a 30% or more rise in hybrid job postings over the past six months, led by the communications sector, which has seen remote postings nearly double. Additional job categories that have offered significantly more hybrid roles recently, according to FlexJobs, include insurance, sales, environmental, and legal."
As of May 2025, 51% of remote-capable U.S. employees worked under a hybrid model, nearly unchanged from 52% in May 2023. Fully remote workers stayed near 28%, down one percentage point from 29% two years earlier. Sixty percent of remote-capable employees prefer hybrid arrangements, and FlexJobs reports 40% of professionals prefer hybrid schedules. Several industries have increased hybrid job postings by 30% or more over six months, with communications nearly doubling remote listings. Insurance, sales, environmental, and legal sectors showed notable gains, while computer and IT, project management, accounting and finance, marketing, and customer service continue to lead hybrid job availability.
