The line graph illustrates the percentage of adults in Britain who traveled to their workplace, worked from home, or combined the two, from April 2021 to July the following year. Overall, while the percentage of travelling to work and hybrid working increased, the reverse was true for working from home.
To begin with, 38% of employed adults commuted to their place of work in April 2021. This figure rose steadily to approximately 53% in October before dropping to around 49% in January 2022. There was a climb to peak at 58%, before declining to finish at 46% at the end of the given period.
Turning to employers who worked from home, it started its proportion with respectively 33%. Yet, this figure witnessed a considerable decline to reach 18% in October. Recovering to about 24% in the first month of the following year, the rate dropped to just 14 % in April before finishing at 15% in July, an overall decline of more than half.
A smaller proportion, just under a tenth, combined employment from their place with a trip to the workplace, at the start of the period. The rate experienced gradual increase and reached 17% before a minor fall in October. Remained relatively stable, plateauing at 13% between January 2022 and April, before a considerable rise to around 24% in July.
