[Newsletter] Remote Work in 2026: Plot Twists Included

Hi there,

Did you know that most of the U.S. remote workforce is made up of white men—yet research shows that women are the ones who benefit the most from remote work? Or that not going to the office doesn’t just shape our daily routines, but can influence things as big as air pollution and climate change?

Many of these insights are explored in our State of Remote Work 2026 report, alongside two additional articles and a quiz designed to test how much we really know about office life.

My score surprised me—now I’m curious… how did you do on the quiz?
