NEW YORK – Nearly half of Manhattan office employers have delayed their employees’ return-to-work schedules due to the delta variant of COVID-19, and fewer than half of their employees will return to work this month, according to a poll.
The Association for the City of New York surveyed employers August 9-20 about their plans for approximately 1 million office workers in Manhattan. About 44 percent of employers said they had delayed return plans due to the highly contagious variant, although the length of the delay varied widely.
