One in every five Portland worker is going to the office remotely, according to a new nationwide study.

Portland was ranked the No. 6 city in the US for remote workers. Coworking Mag, an online publication, found 21.2% of Portland workers are now remote which is a drastic rise compared to 6.4% in 2014.

“And, despite a notable 23% drop between 2023 and 2021, Portland still makes it easy for remote professionals to balance their careers with a healthy personal life, all while benefiting from a great quality of life and booming industries, like health services and high tech,” reads the study.

However, that 6.4% figure was still top-notch for its time. In 2014, PDX was ranked No. 7 in the US for remote workers.
