Younger CEOs Favour Remote Work?

New research from early 2026 challenges the narrative that remote work is declining. An NBER study of 8,000 U.S. workers across 2025 shows employees at post-2015 firms work from home nearly twice as often as those at pre-1990 companies, with younger CEOs linked to higher remote rates. FlexJobs data reports a 22% spike in remote hiring and a 3% rise in fully remote roles in Q4 2025, with 67% of listings at senior level. Surveys show most workers value flexibility over pay increases, pointing to structural, generational change rather than short-term retreat.
