SF Bay Area hailed as US WFH capital in 2021

The San Francisco Bay Area is recognized as the Work-From-Home (WFH) capital of the United States in 2021, with over 200,000 people in the area working remotely. 

According to the US Census Bureau, 46% of San Francisco residents did remote work last year. This figure is significantly higher than the nine per cent recorded in 2019.

Among its residents, white San Franciscans were the most likely to work from home in 2021, with 56% of them doing so. This was followed by 39%, 37%, and 31% of Black, Asian, and Hispanic people, respectively. 

Meanwhile, in terms of salaries, the American Community Survey (ACS) said that SF Bay remote workers earned a median of about $120,000 while public transit riders earned about $44,000 in the last 12 months before the survey was conducted. 

Despite the low wages, ACS revealed that a slim majority of SF workers continue to physically report to their jobs in 2021.

Nationally, the number of Americans working remotely exploded between 2019 to 202. marking the highest number ever recorded by the ACS.
