Listen While You Work: The Media Habits of Remote Employees

Recent research from Nielsen found that 75% of people working from home listen to music during office hours, with 40% doing this every day and 35% doing it at least once a week.

In addition, 65% of remote workers watch TV or stream video content during a break from work at least once a week, and 56% watch TV or stream video content with sound while working at least once a week. Of those who watch TV or stream during office hours, the majority watch news programs, local news, national cable news, and national broadcast news.

The report was based on a survey of 1,000 adults in the United States who are working from home.
