The line graph details the percentages of adults in Britain who traveled to their workplace, worked from home, or combined the two, from April 2021 to July the following year. In summary, although there were fluctuations, there was an overall increase in those traveling to work, and in those in a hybrid situation of both traveling and working from home. Most noticeable, however, is the marked fall in the proportion working from their own residence.
In April 2021, approximately 38% of employed adults traveled to their workplace. This rose steadily to 53% in October before dropping to around 48% in January 2022. There was a climb to peak at 58% in April, before declining to finish at 46% in July.
About 34% worked from home in April 2021, but this fell steadily to 17% in October. Rising again to about 24% in January, the rate dropped to just 14% three months later before finishing at 15%, in July, an overall decline of more than half.
A smaller proportion, just under a tenth, combined employment from home with travel to the workplace, at the start of the period. The rate intersected with the work-from-home group at 17% in October, then dropped to about 12% in January. It plateaued at this until April, before a considerable rise to around 24% in July..
