Employers and even President Biden said they want people back at the office. But add one more item to the pile of reasons employees are less than enthusiastic about going back to the workplace: the skyrocketing cost of commuting.

Studies continue to confirm that, for the most part, people would much rather work from home if given the choice. A recent poll by Pew Research showed that a preference for working from home is a major reason they’re doing so (76% now vs. 60% in 2020) compared to other reasons like fear of Covid and moving away from their companies’ headquarters.

And now comes extra ammo for those workers looking to avoid the return to the office. In its Human Workplace Index, Workhuman found that more than half (55%) of workers have concerns about affording extra expenses associated with in-person work. In a survey of 1,000 full-time workers across the U.S., U.K., Canada, and Ireland, six in 10 said they specifically worried over the financial strain of expenses like gas prices and parking.
