[Neil Narayan]

CoworkingMag, a digital magazine focused on coworking, used U.S. Census Bureau data to measure changes in remote work across 109 metro areas between 2014 and 2023. The number of remote workers peaked in 2021, as a result of the pandemic.

About a quarter of Austin workers are remote employees, according to the report. The 24.9% share is greater than the national average of 13.8%, according to CoworkingMag.

The Austin metro had a 261% increase in teleworkers between 2014 and 2023, the report found, which is above the national average of 207%.
