If you are working from home a few days a week and going into the office on other days, you are part of a trend that has established itself as routine in many parts of the country: hybrid work. In turn, the trend is establishing new office visitation patterns with relatively steady foot traffic at about 60% of pre-pandemic levels in recent months.

Since January 2023, the national visit gap for office buildings has hovered at around 40% of 2019 levels, according to Placer.ai.

When workers do turn up at the office, it is usually not on a Monday or Friday, when office visits fall by around 47% — or about half what they were in 2019.
