There was a noticeable shift in commuting and workplace trends this past spring, inching closer towards pre-pandemic norms, according to Statistics Canada's newly released data this week.
The proportion of workers usually working from home decreased to 20.1 per cent in May 2023 — down from 24.3 per cent in May 2021 and 22.4 per cent in May 2022, just as pandemic-time health safety restrictions were lifted. But this is still well above the pre-pandemic levels of about 7 per cent. As of May 2023, 10.1% of Canada's commuters or 1.6 million people travelled to work using public transit — up from the modal share of 8.5 per cent or 1.3 million in May 2022, and 7.8 per cent or one million in May 2021. But this is still below the modal share of 12.6 per cent or 1.9 million in May 2016.
