America’s work-from-home capitals are in a sorry state

Despite efforts to pull staff back to the office, remote work has become entrenched in America. City centres have recovered, but only partially. On average, 15% of workers across the country’s biggest metropolitan areas toil at home on most working days. In some places the share is close to a quarter. They may continue to live and work in a city, or from a house in its suburbs, but they are less likely to commute to its centre.
