Report: Almost 41 Million U.S. Workers to Be Fully Remote in the Next 5 Years

When U.S. companies told their employees to pack up their desks and start working remotely in March 2020, no one could have imagined that a good 19 months later, much of the labor force would still be logging in to work from home. At this point, many companies have been forced to push back their office reopening plans due to the delta variant, and employees may not return to in-person work in droves until well into 2022. The past 19 months haven't exactly been wonderful for office REITs, or real estate investment trusts.
