Half of all Seattle jobs are now working remotely - Who are these workers and can this continue?

In the Seattle metro area, which includes King, Pierce, and Snohomish counties, nearly half (48.7%) of all adults have switched to teleworking because of the pandemic.

The novel coronavirus pandemic has upended many aspects of our lives, including the way we work. Before the virus emptied out office towers, only a small fraction of the U.S. labor force worked from home. Now it’s commonplace.

But some new data reveals that the rise of telework has had a far greater impact on workers in some parts of the country than in others. Seattle is near the top among the nation’s largest metro areas for the switch to remote work since the pandemic.

That figure represents nearly half of the roughly 3 million adults who live in the greater Seattle area, and not just those adults that are active in the labor force.
