By learning these statistics, you’ll have a better understanding of the benefits and concerns of remote work.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I’ve broken the statistics into 5 categories that are likely the most necessary to consider in 2020.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"toc-1--1-who\">1. Who?\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Probably the most relevant details involve figuring out who are the groups most likely to work remotely in 2020 and what types of jobs do they typically hold? There are a lot of different industries that have some type of remote work, but the highest tend to be insurance, real estate, information and technical services. The majority demographic working from home is employees over age 40, though this will certainly change dramatically by default.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cfigure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter wp-image-45356\">\u003Cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" src=\"\u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2020\u002F05\u002F19191721\u002Fremote-work-statistics-2.jpg\" alt=\"A young woman has a conference call online.\" class=\"wp-image-45356\" srcset=\"\u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2020\u002F05\u002F19191721\u002Fremote-work-statistics-2.jpg 800w, \u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2020\u002F05\u002F19191721\u002Fremote-work-statistics-2-450x300.jpg 450w, \u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2020\u002F05\u002F19191721\u002Fremote-work-statistics-2-768x512.jpg 768w\" \u002F>\u003Cfigcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Key remote work demographics are bound to change.\u003C\u002Ffigcaption>\u003C\u002Ffigure>\u003Ch2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"toc-2--2-how-many\">2. How many?\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Due to an ever-changing landscape, finding statistics on how many people working remotely is difficult. However, most analysis put the percentage at 3.7% for 2020. Though this number seems extremely low, keep in mind that this is only the percentage of those who work remote the majority of their week. About 40% of people do at least some amount of remote work.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"toc-3--3-how-well\">3. How well?\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From an employee financial standpoint, remote work saves them money due to less traveling. Although it’s impossible to give an exact number as everyone’s situation is different, it’s believed that approximately $3,000 to $5,000 dollars are saved every year per employee who works remotely some of the time. As far as the actual work quality, most employees (around ¾) believe remote work increases their work performance. This practice is already familiar to many anyway, such as \u003Ca href=\"\u002Fblog\u002Fremote-marketing\u002F\">remote marketing\u003C\u002Fa> teams.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cfigure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter wp-image-45359\">\u003Cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"493\" src=\"\u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2020\u002F05\u002F19191720\u002Fremote-work-statistics-3.jpg\" alt=\"A worker has a meeting on his laptop.\" class=\"wp-image-45359\" srcset=\"\u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2020\u002F05\u002F19191720\u002Fremote-work-statistics-3.jpg 800w, \u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2020\u002F05\u002F19191720\u002Fremote-work-statistics-3-450x277.jpg 450w, \u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2020\u002F05\u002F19191720\u002Fremote-work-statistics-3-768x473.jpg 768w\" \u002F>\u003Cfigcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Remote work has a chance to increase performance.\u003C\u002Ffigcaption>\u003C\u002Ffigure>\u003Ch2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"toc-4--4-downsides\">4. Downsides\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are, of course, some downsides to remote work. There’s less face-to-face interaction, which is the best way to build relationships for most people. Also, the idea that an employee is more productive just because they believe they are can be skewed. They may enjoy the remote lifestyle but overestimate how effective their work efforts are.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"toc-5--5-future-outlook\">5.
