Mobile Workers to Be 60% of US Employees by 2024, Says IDC

COVID-19's disruption of the U.S. labor force will continue to shape how and where people work, with the U.S. mobile worker segment forecast to grow from 78.5 million this year to 93.5 million in 2024, some 60% of employees, reported IDC Tuesday. Information workers will surge over the next 12-18 months due to an expansion in remote and work-from-home workers post-pandemic. IDC finds 90% of companies think it's likely more of their staff will work from home in the future.
