Monday mornings at Corner Coffee in downtown Minneapolis used to be slow. In-person work is back to almost 75% of pre-pandemic numbers, according to Kittie Fahey, senior director of advancement for the Minneapolis Downtown Council. Minnesota’s share of primarily remote workers was 21% in 2021, higher than the national share of 17.9%, according to the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis. Even as workers return, traffic hours are more spread out than before the pandemic, Fahey said. “It used to be you sort of came downtown, you hung out downtown,” Fahey said.
