America’s Offices Sit Half-Empty Six Months Into the Covid-19 Pandemic
Wall Street Journal
Six months after coronavirus lockdown orders closed workplaces across the country, most offices in the U.S. are still quiet. Data from Brivo, a company that provides access-control systems for workplaces, shows that “unlocks” at offices—when someone uses their credentials to enter an office—in late August were down 51% from the end of February. By comparison, visits to manufacturing and warehouse locations, where fewer jobs can be done remotely, remained down by a third.
