Are your antidepressants handy? Good. |

Posted by Peter Rosa on Fri Jul 5 13:20:39 2024 From the financial company Moody's, as related on the Calculated Risk economics site:The office sector set a record vacancy rate at 20.1%, breaking the 20% barrier for the first time in history. The slow bleed occurring in the office sector has led to a steady rise in the vacancy rate as permanent shifts in working behavior have outlasted the initial wave of the pandemic four years ago. Q2’s record rate of 20.1% is up from 19.8% the previous quarter and represents the third straight record-breaking quarter beyond our previous historic peaks of 19.3% set in 1986 and 1991. Note the use of the word "permanent." Without doubt a deliberate choice. As best I can determine Moody's itself is on a hybrid work schedule with employees required to be in the office at least 2X per week. |
