Job Flexibilities and Work Schedules — 2024–2025 — 2026-09-24

In 2024-25, 57 percent of workers had a flexible schedule in which they could vary the times they began and ended work, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. About 34 percent of wage and salary workers (51 million) worked at home at least occasionally, and 28 percent of wage and salary workers had days they only worked at home. Data in this news release are averages of data collected throughout 2024 and 2025 from a supplement to the American Time Use Survey (ATUS), the 2024-25 Leave and Job Flexibilities Module, and sponsored by the U.S. Department of Labor's Women's Bureau. Data on job flexibilities and work schedules were collected directly from wage and salary workers, excluding the self-employed. Estimates in this news release apply only to a person's sole or main job. For individuals with more than one job, the main job is the job in which they usually work the most hours.
