Paradise cities | NY and LA among the world's top ten 'workcation' destinations

New York and Los Angeles are among the top ten cities in the world for work and vacation, or “workcation,” according to hybrid workspace operator International Workplace Group’s latest report.

The results are based on in-house research, and findings from a global survey of 1,000 hybrid office workers.

Largely due to the Covid pandemic, the number of people working from home increased five-fold between 2019 and 2023, and 40% of US employees currently work remotely at least one day a week, according to Economic Policy Research.

The report says that 84% of hybrid workers have either extended or would consider prolonging a vacation to work remotely, while 75% said “the freedom of being able to work from anywhere boosts their job satisfaction.”
