Hybrid working has become the new normal" for more than a quarter of working adults in Great Britain, official figures show, but it remains out of reach for those in lower-skilled and lower-paid jobs.

The proportion of people carrying out hybrid work - where they split their time between the office and another location, such as home - has risen gradually since March 2022, becoming the shift pattern for 28% of workers by the first three months of this year, according to the Office for National Statistics (ONS).
