A new survey from the Central Statistics Office reveals that 90% of those aged between 35 and 44 years who could work remotely would like to do so when Covid-19 pandemic restrictions end.
The CSO's "Our Lives Online Pulse Survey" also shows that 80% of those in employment have worked remotely at some point since the start of the pandemic.
This compares to just 23% having worked remotely at some point before the outbreak of Covid. Of the 90% of those workers who would like to work remotely, 28% said they would like to do so all the time, while 60% said they would like to work remotely some of the time.
Just 12% said they would not like to work remotely in the future. Today's survey also reveals that 58% of those not in employment would consider taking a job if it could be done remotely.
