☆ Returning to the office is 'wildly more expensive' today than in 2019—here's how much people are spending

The majority of workers say they're back in the office five days a week, and they're paying up for it. The report, which surveyed 2,000 full-time U.S. workers in June, found that 26% of workers are hybrid this year, and just 7% are fully remote. Full-time office workers are spending roughly $1,020 every month to report to the workplace, while hybrid workers spend an average of $408 per month on attendance. "There's no question" working from the office is 'wildly more expensive" today than it was pre-pandemic, says Frank Weishaupt, CEO of Owl Labs. So it's not surprising to him that, when asked what work perks would get hybrid employees to return in-person more often, the No.

Ivey, 27, works for a tech consulting firm in Atlanta and says she drives into the office once or twice a month. Another 8% of hybrid workers say they haven't tried coffee badging just yet but are interested in doing so. So, "coffee badging gives you the opportunity to maintain your flexible schedule, which is incredibly important to employees," Weishaupt says. Weishaupt himself does the reverse of coffee badging, where he'll start his day from home, drive in mid-day to avoid morning traffic, and finish the rest of his day from the office. In the Philadelphia area, Kynisha Gary, 30, says coffee badging helps her find balance as a parent and Penn State student.

JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon is bullish on the benefits of artificial intelligence, which is already being used by thousands of employees at his bank, and he predicts it'll usher in the norm of a shortened workweek. "Your children are going to live to 100 and not have cancer because of technology," Dimon said Monday in an interview with Bloomberg TV. Dimon says the bank's investments in AI "will add huge value" and is being leveraged across the firm's research, trading, customer service and other functions. When asked if the technology is likely to replace some bank jobs, he responded that "of course" it will, but that "technologies always replace jobs." Tech innovations also create new jobs and opportunity: AI technology could improve labor productivity and boost global GDP by as much as 7% over time, Goldman Sachs' report noted.

Applying to jobs can feel like a numbers game, and there's no shortage of hacks to try and get your resume into the hands of a hiring manager. But one so-called tip that's gone viral on TikTok several times over may not be so foolproof. The hack, known as "white fonting," is "bad advice," says Farah Sharghi, a recruiter who estimates she's conducted more than 10,000 interviews at companies like Google, Lyft and TikTok. The idea stems from standard advice to tailor your resume using keywords in the job description. "It drives me nuts," Sharghi says of the trick, "and there's always a resurgence every year on TikTok where somebody makes a video about it, and it gets millions of views and people do it."

New data shows that office attendance rates have, indeed, picked up since 2020, though even the latest annual autumn push shows the limits to how many more people may return. It begs the question as another Labor Day return has come and gone: Is anyone taking new RTO announcements seriously? 1 reason people don't want to use their office, according to an October 2022 Gartner survey, followed closely by the cost of going into the office.

The class of 2024 longs for both job and financial security — and those priorities may be at odds when they negotiate the pay for their first jobs out of college. Some 3 in 4 college seniors graduating next year say they're unsure whether they plan to negotiate their starting pay, that it will depend on the offer, or they're outright not planning to have the discussion, according to Handshake's latest survey of 1,148 students in the class of 2024. Students say their main reason for not negotiating is they're worried an employer may rescind their offer if they do, followed by concerns that doing so will leave a bad impression. The remaining 1 in 4 students say they "definitely" plan to negotiate. But the fear of negotiating is "at odds" with many students' need for financial security, Williams adds.

"When paired with a high demand for frontline health-care workers and practitioners, these factors make student loan repayment options a competitive benefit."

Some 3.6 million salaried workers may soon be able to earn overtime pay, according to a new proposal from the Biden administration. Currently, overtime pay applies primarily to hourly workers who log more than 40 hours in one week. The new proposal raises that threshold so non-hourly professionals can earn overtime if they earn less than $55,068 per year, or $1,059 per week. Roughly 15% of salaried workers are now entitled to overtime pay, the AP reports citing data from the Economic Policy Institute. If the new rule passes, nearly 30% of salaried workers would become eligible for overtime, though that's far lower than the 60% of salaried workers who were entitled to overtime pay in the 1970s, per the EPI.
