Swindon is one of the best places in the UK to work from home, according to a new study.
In Spring 2022, an ONS survey revealed that 38 per cent of UK working adults are still working from home at least once a week - up from 12 per cent prior to the pandemic.
This study came to the conclusion that 44.30 per cent of workers in Swindon love working from home - making Swindon the eighth UK city when it comes to work-from-home happiness.
The study found that residents of Watford in Hertfordshire love remote work the most in the UK - with 54.9 per cent of tweets about it in the area having positive sentiment.
Next on the list was Warrington in Cheshire, where 51.6 per cent of tweets support remote working. The city is equidistant between the commercial centres of Liverpool and Manchester. Huddersfield (45.5 per cent) was third on the list and is similarly placed between larger cities - Manchester and Leeds.
Meanwhile, locals in Swansea are far less convinced. 29.2 per cent of tweets in the South Wales town contain negative sentiment - more than anywhere else in the UK. Swansea’s workforce contains above-average levels of education, health, and retail staff, according to figures from the Welsh government.
