Far From Work

A new study shows that Americans moved much away from their workplaces during the pandemic. “The average distance between people’s homes and workplaces rose to 27 miles in 2023 from 10 miles in 2019, more than doubling. The share of people who live 50 or more miles from where they work rose sevenfold during the pandemic.” This is a huge development that will make it very difficult to push people back into the office.
