Human Resources recruiting company Robert Half found 55% of managers in Minneapolis are willing to increase starting pay for employees who commit to working in-office rather than from home.

The survey shows in some cases new hires are making up to 20% more than their at-home counterparts.

Twin Cities Business Magazine is also reporting employers are more tuned in to the importance of office culture, creativity, and the ability to mentor the next generation of workers and leaders.

Sacramento, CA (36%), San Francisco, CA (31%) and New York (31%) are the highest.
