What are the Best Days To Work From Home in a Hybrid Schedule?

work from home jobs 3 days a week

As the remote work revolution has slowed down a bit, more companies have been exploring hybrid working. In this work model, you’ll be able to work from home typically one or two days a week from your home. 

But this can present a challenge to you – choosing the best days to work from home!

To help you pick your work from home schedule, I dove into some pros and cons of each weekday, what the data and research out there says, and additional tips to help you choose. 

Work From Home Days

Although companies should consider more permanent work from home options, many will continue operating on a hybrid schedule.

Some employers may have the work from home days mandated for you…yuck! But if they allow you to choose, now you have to figure out which is the best option(s). Here’s some pros and cons of the weekdays for you.

  • Can ease back into the workweek after a weekend. 
  • Avoid Monday commutes when work traffic can be heaviest.
  • Extended break from going to the office. 
  • Productivity can be hurt as it feels like a 3-day weekend.
  • Harder to get motivated as you aren’t going to the office. 
  • Mondays are typically busier days, being at home may impact your work and focus. 
  • A nice way to break up the week from going to the office,
  • Can avoid the midweek slump and help you recharge or recover from earlier in the week.
  • Allows you space from commutes and in-office distractions. 
  • Help you gain perspective on the workweek so far and what’s ahead. 
  • May still feel like the week is dragging out as the next day you’re back to the office. 
  • Might break your workflow and be harder to get back in the swing of things on Thursday. 
  • Avoid Friday traffic commutes with everyone ready for the weekend. 
  • Typically, a slower day in the office can be a better choice to be working at home.
  • Less meetings, where you won’t feel obligated to be in the office. 
  • You may feel more distracted with the upcoming weekend so close. 

Tuesday & Thursday

From the data below and talking to others that work in hybrid environments, Tuesday and Thursday are generally not commonly popular days to work from home. 

But if you get two days a week to work from home, it could actually be a good option to break up your week nicely. You still have facetime with your team and can break up your week. 

Now if you only get one day a week, then one of those two days may not be your preference. At that point, I’d go with Wednesday or Friday if you have a one day option. 

Best Days to Work From Home Research

There has been some studies and research done around hybrid work. And some of that data does revolve around the best days to work from home. 

While the data suggest there are common preferred days of the week, there is no EXACT day that will be perfect for YOU. But, it might be interesting to check out this data as you explore days you’d like to work at home. 

According to data from WFH Research founded by Nick Bloom, Friday has become the popular day to work from home for hybrid companies. In his Tweet below, he shared more details:

Steve Roth, chairman of real estate giant Vornado said Fridays are "dead forever" for office use. It looks like he was right – Friday has become the day to #wfh . There is now a 3-part week: Monday to Thursday – the office is open and half-full Friday – the office is open and… pic.twitter.com/fOsF9Uo2M4 — Nick Bloom (@I_Am_NickBloom) August 11, 2023

In other research , the company Doximity found that Wednesday is the best day and offers the most benefits for the company and employee to work from home.  I’d say there may be slight bias, as it is more driven to what is best for the organization but interesting nonetheless.

What the company found:

  • Midweek work from home provides a “in-office break” that helps employees feel more refreshed for the remainder of the week. 
  • For the company, they removed Friday or Monday as an option so no one feels like they get a three-day weekend, which can cause productivity slumps. 
  • Giving a midweek day to work from home has helped boost work-life balance for their employees. 

BuildRemote did a survey of 483 remote workers and found Monday received 146 votes (30%), Wednesday with 140 votes (29%), followed by Friday with 125 votes (25%). This was rounded out with Thursday at 5% and Saturday and Sunday tied at 2% (for those working weekends). 

Not the largest sample size, but you do see the common Wednesday answer yet again. And these results are directly from remote workers, not the employer.

How to Choose Your WFH Day

So you have some pros and cons of each weekday and some data…..but you still can’t decide. As you may have just read from above, there really isn’t a clear cut and dry answer. 

That’s okay, I have some additional tips to help you narrow down which day might be best. And if anything, test out the days of the week. You’ll quickly find which day works best with your schedule. 

Some days you may have a ton of meetings to attend. So you have to ask yourself if you don’t mind being virtual for them or if you prefer to be in-person. 

Additionally, if your employer requires you to be in-person for specific meetings, then whatever days those are will probably not be the right day to work from home. 

Your Workload

Every profession is slightly different, but what days do you tend to have the most work? Do you have looming tasks or projects you need to get complete? 

These might be good days to work from home where you can have deep work sessions and avoid commutes and office distractions. 

Team Bonding

There will be days where it will be good work and socialize among your team, manager, and immediate co-workers. 

You can consider syncing your schedule with them to have that important facetime and then have similar days where everyone is working from home. That way you don’t miss out or feel isolated. 

Final Thoughts

A hybrid work schedule may mean you only get one day to choose each work, or maybe it’s two or three days a week. Pending what your employer allows along with your weekly schedule, that will determine the best days you should consider working from home. 

Hopefully, your employer doesn’t put restrictions on specific days of when you can or can’t work remotely. If they do and you are more eager about being fully remote, then head over to our remote job board and find the right gig for you. 

Personally, If I was in a hybrid work model I’d choose Wednesday or Friday as my day to work from home. As mentioned above, the data shows that Wednesday is a top day to consider working from your own home. But it’s ultimately up to you and based your preferences. 

If you get two days a week, think about the days where you have less meetings or days where you typically can focus on deep work.

I’d also factor in how long it will take you to get work too. If you face traffic on specific days or have longer commutes overall, then Fridays can be a great day to work at home and not worry about getting through busy traffic.

Americans are embracing flexible work—and they want more of it

When the COVID-19 pandemic shuttered workplaces nationwide, society was plunged into an unplanned experiment in work from home. Nearly two-and-a-half years on, organizations worldwide have created new working norms  that acknowledge that flexible work is no longer a temporary pandemic response but an enduring feature of the modern working world.

About the survey

This article is based on a 25-minute, online-only Ipsos poll conducted on behalf of McKinsey between March 15 and April 18, 2022. A sample of 25,062 adults aged 18 and older from the continental United States, Alaska, and Hawaii was interviewed online in English and Spanish. To better reflect the population of the United States as a whole, post hoc weights were made to the population characteristics on gender, age, race/ethnicity, education, region, and metropolitan status. Given the limitations of online surveys, 1 “Internet surveys,” Pew Research Center. it is possible that biases were introduced because of undercoverage or nonresponse. People with lower incomes, less education, people living in rural areas, or people aged 65 and older are underrepresented among internet users and those with high-speed internet access.

The third edition of McKinsey’s American Opportunity Survey  provides us with data on how flexible work fits into the lives of a representative cross section of workers in the United States. McKinsey worked alongside the market-research firm Ipsos to query 25,000 Americans in spring 2022 (see sidebar, “About the survey”).

The most striking figure to emerge from this research is 58 percent. That’s the number of Americans who reported having the opportunity to work from home at least one day a week. 1 Many of the survey questions asked respondents about their ability or desire to “work from home.” “Work from home” is sometimes called “remote work,” while arrangements that allow for both remote and in-office work are often interchangeably labeled “hybrid” or “flexible” arrangements. We prefer the term flexible, which acknowledges that home is only one of the places where work can be accomplished and because it encompasses a variety of arrangements, whereas hybrid implies an even split between office and remote work. Thirty-five percent of respondents report having the option to work from home five days a week. What makes these numbers particularly notable is that respondents work in all kinds of jobs, in every part of the country and sector of the economy, including traditionally labeled “blue collar” jobs that might be expected to demand on-site labor as well as “white collar” professions.

About the authors

This article is a collaborative effort by André Dua , Kweilin Ellingrud , Phil Kirschner , Adrian Kwok, Ryan Luby, Rob Palter , and Sarah Pemberton as part of ongoing McKinsey research to understand the perceptions of and barriers to economic opportunity in America. The following represents the perspectives of McKinsey’s Real Estate and People & Organizational Performance Practices.

Another of the survey’s revelations: when people have the chance to work flexibly, 87 percent of them take it. This dynamic is widespread across demographics, occupations, and geographies. The flexible working world was born of a frenzied reaction to a sudden crisis but has remained as a desirable job feature for millions. This represents a tectonic shift in where, when, and how Americans want to work and are working.

The following six charts examine the following:

  • the number of people offered flexible working arrangements either part- or full-time
  • how many days a week employed people are offered and do work from home
  • the gender, age, ethnicity, education level, and income of people working or desiring to work flexibly
  • which occupations have the greatest number of remote workers and how many days a week they work remotely
  • how highly employees rank flexible working arrangements as a reason to seek a new job
  • impediments to working effectively for people who work remotely all the time, part of the time, or not at all

Flexible work’s implications for employees and employers—as well as for real estate, transit, and technology, to name a few sectors—are vast and nuanced and demand contemplation.

1. Thirty-five percent of job holders can work from home full-time, and 23 percent can do so part-time

A remarkable 58 percent of employed respondents—which, extrapolated from the representative sample, is equivalent to 92 million people from a cross section of jobs and employment types—report having the option to work from home for all or part of the week. After more than two years of observing remote work and predicting that flexible working would endure  after the acute phases of the COVID-19 pandemic, we view these data as a confirmation that there has been a major shift in the working world and in society itself.

We did not ask about flexible work in our American Opportunity Survey in past years, but an array of other studies indicate that flexible working has grown by anywhere from a third to tenfold since 2019. 1 Rachel Minkin et al., “How the coronavirus outbreak has—and hasn’t—changed the way Americans work,” Pew Research Center, December 9, 2020; “Telework during the COVID-19 pandemic: Estimates using the 2021 Business Response Survey,” US Bureau of Labor Statistics, Monthly Labor Review, March 2022.

Thirty-five percent of respondents say they can work from home full-time. Another 23 percent can work from home from one to four days a week. A mere 13 percent of employed respondents say they could work remotely at least some of the time but opt not to.

Forty-one percent of employed respondents don’t have the choice. This may be because not all work can be done remotely  or because employers simply demand on-site work. Given workers’ desire for flexibility, employers may have to explore ways to offer the flexibility employees want  to compete for talent effectively.

2. When offered, almost everyone takes the opportunity to work flexibly

The results of the survey showed that not only is flexible work popular, with 80 million Americans engaging in it (when the survey results are extrapolated to the wider population), but many want to work remotely for much of the week when given the choice.

Eighty-seven percent of workers offered at least some remote work embrace the opportunity and spend an average of three days a week working from home. People offered full-time flexible work spent a bit more time working remotely, on average, at 3.3 days a week. Interestingly, 12 percent of respondents whose employers only offer part-time or occasional remote work say that even they worked from home for five days a week. This contradiction appears indicative of a tension between how much flexibility employers offer and what employees demand .

3. Most employees want flexibility, but the averages hide the critical differences

There’s remarkable consistency among people of different genders, ethnicities, ages, and educational and income levels: the vast majority of those who can work from home do so. In fact, they just want more flexibility: although 58 percent of employed respondents say they can work from home at least part of the time, 65 percent of employed respondents say they would be willing to do so all the time.

However, the opportunity is not uniform: there was a large difference in the number of employed men who say they were offered remote-working opportunities (61 percent) and women (52 percent). At every income level, younger workers were more likely than older workers to report having work-from-home opportunities.

People who could but don’t work flexibly tend to be older (19 percent of 55- to 64-year-olds offered remote work didn’t take it, compared with 12 to 13 percent of younger workers) or have lower incomes (17 percent of those earning $25,000 to $74,999 per year who were offered remote work didn’t take it, compared with 10 percent of those earning over $75,000 a year). While some workers may choose to work on-site because they prefer the environment, others may feel compelled to because their home environments are not suitable, because they lack the skills and tools to work remotely productively, or because they believe there is an advantage to being on-site. Employers should be aware that different groups perceive and experience remote work differently and consider how flexible working fits with their diversity, equity, and inclusion strategies .

4. Most industries support some flexibility, but digital innovators demand it

The opportunity to work flexibly differs by industry and role within industries and has implications for companies competing for talent. For example, the vast majority of employed people in computer and mathematical occupations report having remote-work options, and 77 percent report being willing to work fully remotely. Because of rapid digital transformations across industries , even those with lower overall work-from-home patterns may find that the technologists they employ demand it.

A surprisingly broad array of professions offer remote-work arrangements. Half of respondents working in educational instruction and library occupations and 45 percent of healthcare practitioners and workers in technical occupations say they do some remote work, perhaps reflecting the rise of online education and telemedicine. Even food preparation and transportation professionals said they do some work from home.

5. Job seekers highly value having autonomy over where and when they work

The survey asked people if they had hunted for a job recently or were planning to hunt for one. Unsurprisingly, the most common rationale for a job hunt was a desire for greater pay or more hours, followed by a search for better career opportunities. The third-most-popular reason was looking for a flexible working arrangement.

Prior McKinsey research has shown that for those that left the workforce during the early phases of the COVID-19 pandemic, workplace flexibility was a top reason that they accepted new jobs . Employers should be aware that when a candidate is deciding between job offers with similar compensation, the opportunity to work flexibly can become the deciding factor.

6. Employees working flexibly report obstacles to peak performance

The survey asked respondents to identify what made it hard to perform their jobs effectively. Those working in a flexible model were most likely to report multiple obstacles, followed by those working fully remotely, and then by those working in the office. Our research doesn’t illuminate the cause and effect here: it could be that people who face barriers are more likely to spend some time working from home. It could also be that workers who experience both on-site and at-home work are exposed to the challenges of each and the costs of regularly switching contexts.

Some obstacles were reported at much higher rates by specific groups: for example, about 55 percent of 18- to 34-year-olds offered the option to work fully remotely say mental-health issues  impacted their ability to perform effectively, though only 17 percent of people aged 55 to 64 said the same. Workers with children at home  who were offered full-time remote-work options were far more likely than their peers without children to report that problems with physical health or a hostile work environment had a moderate or major impact on their job.

The results of the American Opportunity Survey reflect sweeping changes in the US workforce, including the equivalent of 92 million workers offered flexible work, 80 million workers engaged in flexible work, and a large number of respondents citing a search for flexible work as a major motivator to find a new job.

Competition for top performers and digital innovators demands that employers understand how much flexibility their talent pool is accustomed to and expects. Employers are wise to invest in technology, adapt policies, and train employees to create workplaces that integrate people working remotely and on-site (without overcompensating by requiring that workers spend too much time in video meetings ). The survey results identify obstacles to optimal performance that underscore a need for employers to support workers with issues that interfere with effective work. Companies will want to be thoughtful about which roles can be done partly or fully remotely—and be open to the idea that there could be more of these than is immediately apparent. Employers can define the right metrics and track them to make sure the new flexible model is working.

At a more macro level, a world in which millions of people no longer routinely commute has meaningful implications for the commercial core in big urban centers and for commercial real estate overall. Likewise, such a world implies a different calculus for where Americans will live and what types of homes they will occupy. As technology emerges that eliminates the residual barriers to more distributed and asynchronous work, it could become possible to move more types of jobs overseas, with potentially significant consequences.

In time, the full impact of flexible working will be revealed. Meanwhile, these data give us early insight into how the working world is evolving.

Finding a job is getting harder even in a strong labor market: ‘It’s just a mess,’ says recruiting pro

thumbnail

The job market might look solid on paper — unemployment is low, job openings are high — but the reality for many Americans on the job hunt tells a different story. 

LinkedIn feeds are crowded with layoff announcements. Mentions of recruiters ghosting job applicants have more than doubled on Glassdoor since before the Covid-19 pandemic. 

"It's frustrating and disorienting — finding a new job has never felt this difficult," says Javier Serrano, who left his job as a software trainer at Parcel Pending by Quadient, a smart locker company, in May, and who has applied to hundreds of jobs since. Serrano had been in his previous role for about eight months.

Some companies have asked him to go through several rounds of interviews and then disappeared; others sent him take-home tests or asked him to record video responses to AI-generated questions. He has not received any offers.

Serrano, 50, says he initially expected to find a new job within six months, but now, he's expecting to be out of work for close to a year. He recently applied for a job delivering groceries for a store near his house in Orlando to help cover his living expenses.

"I'm optimistic that things will work out," says Serrano. "I just think the numbers are underselling how hard it is for job seekers right now."

Economists and recruiters say lingering expectations from the "great resignation" and businesses' fears about an imminent recession could be to blame for job seekers' malaise. 

Jobseekers have whiplash from the 'great resignation'

A major reason more people are burned out from searching for a new job could be due to unrealistic or outdated expectations.

"How people feel about the job market is informed by their recent experiences with the job market," Glassdoor lead economist Daniel Zhao recently told CNBC. "In 2021 and 2022, there were labor shortages, so [employers] were offering all kinds of perks and benefits to try to get people in the door. So even if 2024 is shaping up to be a relatively healthy labor market by recent comparison, it doesn't feel quite as strong."

Nearly 70% of job seekers say their current search is more difficult than their last one, according to a recent survey of more than 1,500 candidates from the staffing firm Aerotek.

"If you want to get hired in this environment, you need to have a different mindset than you did in 2021," says Bert Bean, CEO of the staffing firm Insight Global. "What some job seekers aren't realizing is that employers are a lot more cost-conscious and less willing to make concessions with pay or remote work than they were two years ago." 

High inflation and the threat of a potential downturn are casting a dark shadow over the labor market 

For much of 2023, companies felt like a recession was lurking around the corner and pulled back on hiring as a result — those fears aren't gone yet, says Zhao. 

"Business leaders are still concerned that a recession is possible, even if it's not 100% certain," he tells CNBC Make It . "They don't want to overhire into a recession and then have to lay people off." 

Dan Kaplan, a senior client partner at Korn Ferry, one of the world's largest hiring and recruiting firms, likens companies' current hiring approach to driving in a hailstorm. 

"No one can figure out what's ahead, which means you have to make more decisions blindly," he explains. "Normally, economists will predict a tough market for two of three quarters and there's a light at the end of the tunnel, but this time it's been almost 24 months of predictions of doom and gloom."

That uncertainty, he adds, is causing "a lot of fatigue" in boardrooms across the U.S.

As more companies pause hiring, they're trimming their talent acquisition teams, too, says Kaplan, which means there are fewer people to manage job postings and respond to applicants, further exacerbating confusion in the job market.

For employers to feel more confident about the economy and expand hiring, interest rates need to come down, says Kaplan. Until then, he says companies are in a "wait and see" period. 

"The prevailing sentiment is, 'let's talk in Q2,' but that could easily be pushed to Q3 or Q4," Kaplan adds. "It's a frustrating time for candidates and an equally frustrating time for businesses who can't hire the talent they need … it's just a mess."

It's still a good time to find a new, better job — in some industries

Despite the labor market's current challenges, there are still plenty of opportunities for people who want a new and better job. 

The labor market posted 9 million openings in December, and there are still roughly 1.4 open jobs for every unemployed person. 

Even though tech and media companies are slashing jobs, Bean says other industries like government, health care and construction have increased hiring in recent months, offering more stable positions that could prove resilient in a potential recession. 

Kaplan agrees, calling these industries a "safer bet" for job seekers, even if some, like health care, construction and manufacturing are still recovering the jobs they lost during the pandemic.

The smartest approach jobseekers can take right now, he adds, is to be persistent, and stay the course. "If sending in 400 applications hasn't landed you an interview, submit 600, or use your free time learning a new technical skill you can add to your resume," he says. "Things won't stay this hard forever."

The House just impeached Alejandro Mayorkas. Here's what happens next.

By Kaia Hubbard

Updated on: February 14, 2024 / 9:58 AM EST / CBS News

Washington — The House voted to impeach Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas on Tuesday, casting a historic vote that marks the first time a Cabinet secretary has been impeached in nearly 150 years. 

Under two articles of impeachment accusing Mayorkas of "willful and systemic refusal to comply with the law" and a "breach of public trust," House Republicans took the rare step toward removing Mayorkas from office on Tuesday. The vote came a week after an initial attempt failed.

But the impeachment push is all but certain to die in the Senate, which has the final say over removing officials under the Constitution.

Here's what to know about the Mayorkas impeachment vote and what happens next.

The impeachment vote

The House narrowly voted 214 to 213 to impeach Mayorkas, with three Republicans opposing the move. The vote came after the effort fell short last week , when Mayorkas narrowly survived an impeachment vote as a handful of Republicans joined with Democrats to oppose it. But when House Majority Leader Steve Scalise returned to the chamber this week after being away for cancer treatment, Republicans had the narrow majority they needed to impeach the cabinet secretary. 

In a statement following the vote on Tuesday, the Department of Homeland Security said the impeachment push came "without a shred of evidence" or basis in the Constitution, noting the bipartisan opposition. Democrats have derided the effort, calling the impeachment a political stunt with no constitutional basis.

"This baseless impeachment will do nothing to secure the border  —  Republicans have admitted as much," Mississippi Rep. Bennie Thompson, the top Democrat on the House Homeland Security Committee, said in a statement after the vote. "Instead of providing the Department of Homeland Security the resources it needs or working together towards a bipartisan solution, they have rejected any solution for the sole reason that they can have a political wedge issue in an election year." 

Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas testifies during a House Appropriations Homeland Security Subcommittee hearing on April 27, 2022.

Constitutional scholars have argued that the allegations against Mayorkas do not rise to the level of impeachable offenses, noting that under the Constitution, the basis for impeachment is "high Crimes and Misdemeanors." But ultimately, enough Republicans coalesced around the move to impeach the Cabinet secretary to protest the administration's handling of the U.S.-Mexico border.

House Speaker Mike Johnson, a Louisiana Republican, said Tuesday that Mayorkas "is an exceptional case." Johnson argued that the border chief "has brought more damage on the country than any cabinet secretary that has ever been." 

"The House has a constitutional responsibility, as I've said many times, probably the heaviest next to a declaration of war, and we have to do our job regardless of what the other chamber does," he told reporters. 

What happens now that Mayorkas has been impeached?

The vote does not remove Mayorkas from office, since impeachment is only the first step in the process of ousting an official from their post. The matter now heads to the Senate, which has the "sole Power" under the Constitution to hold a trial that could lead to conviction and removal from office.

It's highly unlikely that Mayorkas would be removed by the Democratic-controlled Senate, where a two-thirds majority would be required for conviction. Senators of both parties have criticized the House for holding an impeachment vote in the first place, knowing it will fail in the upper chamber.

Still, exactly how the Senate will proceed remains to be seen. Precedent dictates that the chamber will move quickly to trial, but what that looks like — and what the Constitution demands — has been subject to debate.

"[The Constitution] says that the Senate 'shall' have the sole power to hold a trial, but that 'shall' is doing a lot of work there and it doesn't mandate it," says Casey Burgat, the director of the Legislative Affairs Program at George Washington University's Graduate School of Political Management. "And in a lot of people's eyes, it doesn't force it."

The Senate rules suggest that once the chamber receives the articles of impeachment from the House, they must schedule a trial to begin the following day, Burgat explained. But a majority could vote to "reinterpret" the rules, opening up a number of avenues to speed through, delay or dismiss the impeachment outright. 

"Depending on the entrepreneurship of the people there and how much the majority is willing to not do that, they've got a lot of options to kind of rejigger the rule," Burgat said.

The Senate is expected to convene and receive the impeachment articles from the House before proceeding with any action one way or another. Any vote would require the backing of a majority of the chamber and put each senator on the record with their position. 

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer's office said Tuesday night the upper chamber will start Mayorkas' impeachment trial after senators return to Washington on Feb. 26. 

"The House impeachment managers will present the articles of impeachment to the Senate following the state work period," his office said. "Senators will be sworn in as jurors in the trial the next day. Senate President Pro Tempore Patty Murray will preside."

Sen. James Lankford, an Oklahoma Republican, told reporters that he expects the effort to fall short in the Senate. 

"It'll fail in the Senate," Lankford said. "If I could use the House term, it'll be dead on arrival when it comes over."

  • Growth and Jobs at Davos 2024: What to know
  • How using genAI to fuse creativity and technology could reshape the way we work

1. Generative AI boosts productivity, unevenly

In 2024, most chief economists surveyed by the Forum believe generative AI will increase productivity and innovation in high-income countries. But for low-income countries, just over a third think this will be the case.

Productivity boosts are expected in knowledge-heavy industries, including IT and digital communications, financial and professional services, medical and healthcare services, retail, manufacturing, engineering and construction, energy and logistics.

These potential benefits are in "sharp contrast with concerns about the risks of automation, job displacement and degradation", says the report.

Almost three-quarters (73%) of chief economists surveyed "do not foresee a net positive impact on employment in low-income economies".

2. Digital jobs keep growing

By 2030, the number of global digital jobs is expected to rise to around 92 million. These are generally higher-paid roles, according to the Forum's white paper, The Rise of Digital Jobs .

Digital jobs could help to balance skill shortages in higher-income countries, while boosting opportunities for younger workers in lower-income countries: "If managed well, global digital jobs present an opportunity to utilize talent around the world, widening the talent pool available to employers and providing economic growth pathways to countries across the income spectrum."

3. Unemployment levels could rise

The labour market showed resilience in 2023, with employment remaining high, said Gilbert Fossoun Houngbo, Director-General of the International Labour Organization (ILO), in the Davos session ' What to Expect From Labour Markets '.

But he said ILO projections in early January suggested the global unemployment rate could rise from 5.1% to 5.2% in 2024, with an extra two million workers expected to be looking for jobs.

In the US, the jobs market remained stronger than expected for the first month of the year, with more than 350,000 new jobs added. The unemployment rate for January was 3.7%, close to a 50-year low, according to The Guardian .

Houngbo said ILO data shows inequalities persist between low- and high-income countries, while young people are 3.5 times more at risk of being unemployed than the rest of the adult population and "many workers are struggling to pay bills, which is very worrisome".

The impact of AI on jobs was not going to be "an employment apocalypse", but that reskilling, upskilling and lifelong learning would be key to managing the transition to augmentation, he stressed.

4. More pop-up offices

LinkedIn has seen a drop in the number of fully remote job postings, from a peak of 20% in April 2022, to just 8% in December 2023, said co-founder Allen Blue, speaking in a Davos session ' The Role of the Office is Still TBC ' .

But employee interest in taking remote or hybrid jobs remains high, at around 46% of applications.

"The office is going to be in competition with working from home ... that’s a good thing for the office," he said, as management would need to innovate and create a workplace environment that "emphasizes dynamic human interaction".

Young people taking their first job want human connection, so they're more interested in hybrid than remote roles.

Martin Kocher, Austria's Federal Minister of Labour and Economy, said that some Austrian villages are actually paying for pop-up community office spaces, because people don’t want to work from home, and they can make use of other amenities close by.

He predicted the development of more pop-up office spaces away from company headquarters.

5. Skills will become even more important

With 23% of jobs expected to change in the next five years, according to the Future of Jobs Report, millions of people will need to move between declining and growing jobs.

Coursera CEO, Jeff Maggioncalda and Denis Machuel, CEO of Adecco Group AG, joined the Davos session ' The Race to Reskill ' to discuss the transferability of skills, and the potential of AI to help with personalized learning and productivity, which also levels the playing field for job opportunities globally.

But the key is in learning how to use AI and digital technologies, as Code.org Founder and CEO, Hadi Partovi, pointed out in the session ' Education Meets AI '.

When people think about job losses due to AI, he said, the risk isn't people losing their jobs to AI: "It's losing their job to somebody else who knows how to use AI. That is going to be a much greater displacement.

"It's not that the worker gets replaced by just a robot or a machine in most cases, especially for desk jobs, it's that some better or more educated worker can do that job because they can be twice as productive or three times as productive.

“The imperative is to teach how AI tools work to every citizen, and especially to our young people."

6. More women enter the workforce

In 2020, the World Bank found that potential gains from closing economic gender gaps could unlock a “gender dividend” of $172 trillion for the global economy.

But the Forum’s Global Gender Gap Report 2023 found that the Economic Participation and Opportunity gap has only closed by just over 60%.

Several sessions at Davos looked at how inclusion could benefit the economy , particularly by helping mothers return to the workforce, which could close skills gaps.

“There are 606 million women of working age in the world who are not working because of their unpaid care responsibilities, compared to 40 million men," Reshma Saujani, Founder and CEO of Moms First, explained in a session on the ‘ Workforce Behind the Workforce ’.

“At Moms First, we're working with over 130 companies in every sector, who are saying, ‘I don't have enough workers’. We are working with them to redesign their childcare packages and increase their subsidies.

“Childcare pays for itself. When you offer childcare to employees, you get higher worker productivity and lower rates of attrition, and greater rates of retention. We have to look at care as an economic issue that world leaders must actually do something about.”

WATCH: Hearing returns to consider Fani Willis’ disqualification from Georgia’s Trump case

Missed day one of the hearing? Catch up on what happened, including testimony from Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis’ former co-worker , and takeaways from this courtroom and former President Donald Trump’s appearance in New York in his hush money case .

ATLANTA (AP) — Attorneys for the state of Georgia seeking to knock down misconduct allegations against Fani Willis called her father to the witness stand Friday to testify about his knowledge of her romantic relationship with the special prosecutor she hired to lead the state’s election interference case against Donald Trump.

On the second day of an extraordinary hearing that could result in Willis and her office being removed from the case against the former president, Willis’ father, John Clifford Floyd III, testified that he had not met special prosecutor Nathan Wade  until last year and didn’t find out until weeks ago that they had been in a relationship. Defense attorneys have been trying to show that the romantic relationship existed before Willis hired Wade.

Watch the hearing in the player above.

Prosecutors also sought to bolster Willis’ testimony that Wade was not the district attorney’s first choice to lead the case against Trump. Former Georgia Gov. Roy Barnes testified that Willis approached him in 2021 about serving as special prosecutor, but that he turned it down in part because he had “mouths to feed” at his law practice and because he was concerned about potential threats of violence that could come with the job.

The hearing, with testimony about cash stashes in homes, romantic dalliances and vacations to exotic locales, lent a soap opera feel to one of the most politically consequential prosecutions ever initiated by a county district attorney. Thousands watched a livestream of the proceedings, even during tedious lawyerly exchanges about legal theory, while some prominent local figures — including Atlanta’s current mayor — dropped in to witness the hearing in person.

Yet despite the public intrigue and the potential to undermine the integrity of the case, it was far from clear by midday Friday that defense lawyers had succeeded in presenting indisputably persuasive evidence to push Willis or Wade out of the prosecution.

Wade’s former law partner and divorce attorney, Terrence Bradley, was described by the defense as a key witness who would testify that Willis and Wade began dating before Wade was hired. There have been differing accounts about when the relationship began. Wade and Willis have said they didn’t start dating until 2022, but a former Willis friend and co-worker testified Thursday that she saw them hugging and kissing before Wade was hired in November 2021.

Bradley repeatedly refused to answer questions about Wade and Willis, citing attorney-client privilege. But he did acknowledge texting with the defense attorney who first revealed the existence of Willis and Wade’s relationship.

Prosecutors opted not to put Willis back on the witness stand on Friday, avoiding the spectacle of more deeply personal testimony from the the district attorney. On the witness stand Thursday, Willis forcefully pushed back against any suggestion that her relationship with Wade created a conflict of interest and accused a defense attorney of trying to smear her with salacious lies in an effort to discredit the case against Trump. Willis and Wade have both acknowledged they were in a relationship, but say their personal lives have no bearing on their ability to prosecute the case.

Even if the allegations don’t derail the case, they threaten to taint the public’s perception of one of four criminal proceedings facing the former president, and have provided an opening for Trump and his Republican allies to try to cast doubt on the case’s legitimacy as he vies to reclaim the White House in November.

Trump immediately jumped on the allegations in hopes of discrediting the entire case, part of a yearslong pattern of deflecting attention away from his own conduct by highlighting the personal lives and lapses in judgment — both perceived and real — of the officials investigating him. His use of the word “lover” to refer to Wade echoed his attacks years earlier on two FBI officials who had an extramarital relationship and exchanged derogatory text messages about him during the FBI’s investigation into Russian election interference.

Willis and Wade’s relationship was first revealed by Merchant, an attorney for Trump co-defendant Michael Roman, a former campaign staffer and onetime White House aide. Merchant has alleged that Willis personally profited from the case, paying Wade more than $650,000 for his work and then benefiting when Wade used his earnings to pay for vacations the pair took together.

Wade testified that he and Willis took trips together, but said Willis paid him back in cash for some expenses that he had charged to his credit card. Defense attorneys have sought to cast doubt on the claim that Willis paid Wade in cash, pressing both of them on why Willis would use cash and if they had any evidence that she paid him with it.

Floyd, Willis’ father, seemed to support his daughter’s assertion that she keeps large amounts of cash at home with his testimony that he always told his daughter to have six months of cash on hand.

“It’s a Black thing,” Floyd said. “Most Black folks, they hide cash, they keep cash.”

It’s unclear when the judge might rule on whether Willis and her office should be disqualified from the case. Judge Scott McAfee said during a hearing Monday that Willis could be disqualified “if evidence is produced demonstrating an actual conflict or the appearance of one.”

Willis’ removal would be a stunning development in the most sprawling of the criminal cases against Trump. If she were disqualified, a council that supports prosecuting attorneys in Georgia would need to find a new attorney to take over. That successor could either proceed with the charges against Trump and 14 others or drop the case altogether. Even if a new lawyer went forward with the case, it would very likely not go to trial before November, when Trump is expected to be the Republican nominee for president.

C.D.C. Considers Ending 5-Day Isolation Period for Covid

Americans may be advised that it’s safe to return to regular routines after one day without a fever.

A medical worker in a yellow plastic gown and a mask talks to a person in a car at a drive-through clinic.

By Apoorva Mandavilli

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is considering loosening its recommendations regarding how long people should isolate after testing positive for the coronavirus, another reflection of changing attitudes and norms as the pandemic recedes.

Under the proposed guidelines, Americans would no longer be advised to isolate for five days before returning to work or school. Instead, they might return to their routines if they have been fever free for at least 24 hours without medication, the same standard applied to the influenza and respiratory syncytial viruses.

The proposal would align the C.D.C.’s advice with revised isolation recommendations in Oregon and California . The shift was reported earlier by The Washington Post, but it is still under consideration, according to two people with knowledge of the discussions.

The C.D.C. last changed its policy on isolation in late 2021, when it scaled down the recommended period to five days from 10. If adopted, the new approach would signal that Covid has taken a place alongside other routine respiratory infections.

But by focusing on the isolation policy for Covid, the agency is squandering an opportunity to foster better public health policies, several experts said.

“From a long-term public health perspective, I think this sets really an unfortunate precedent,” said Dr. Syra Madad, senior director of the special pathogens program at NYC Health and Hospitals.

She urged the C.D.C. to “seize this opportunity to truly change how we respond to deadly epidemics and pandemics and advocate for national, guaranteed paid sick and family leave instead of caving into the easier option of eliminating the isolation period.”

Some researchers worried that Americans would interpret the new advice to mean that Covid was no longer a threat. At its peak this winter, Covid claimed about 1,500 lives a week. In adults older than 65, deaths from Covid have been two to four times as common as those from the flu.

“There’s still a lot of people getting Covid and dying from Covid in the U.S.,” said Dr. Boghuma Titanji, an infectious diseases physician at Emory University in Atlanta.

“When you make a public health recommendation, it’s not supposed to be based on what people are already doing,” she said. Instead, she added, the advice must be grounded in evidence.

Even people who have only a mild illness may go on to develop long Covid, for which there is no treatment as yet, Dr. Titanji added.

The proposed recommendations also seem not to take into account older Americans, or those who are immunocompromised or otherwise at risk of severe outcomes from Covid, said Jennifer Nuzzo, director of the Pandemic Center at Brown University School of Public Health.

Dr. Nuzzo said she has an aunt with cancer who had twice contracted Covid in a health care facility. “I do feel for people who now feel even less protected,” she said.

At the very least, the C.D.C. should advise that people who end isolation after one fever-free day also wear N95 masks or the equivalent when leaving their homes, she added.

“Let’s not pretend you’re suddenly not contagious” after one day, Dr. Nuzzo said. “We have to be very clear and transparent about that — to say that we think that there still is a risk.”

Masking remains a deeply controversial issue in the United States. But many people eschew masks only because they fear drawing attention or vitriol, said Dr. Jay Varma, chief medical officer at Siga Technologies and a former deputy commissioner of health for New York City.

Over time, sick people wearing masks could become the norm , like wearing condoms to prevent H.I.V. infections or helmets to prevent head injuries, he said.

“A strong group of people oppose wearing masks now, but that’s not fixed in time,” he added. “People change, people die off, kids become adults.”

C.D.C. officials declined to discuss the proposed changes. “We will continue to make decisions based on the best evidence and science to keep communities healthy and safe,” the agency said in a statement.

An earlier version of this article misstated the number of Covid deaths earlier this winter. It was 1,500 per week, not per day.

What to Know About R.S.V.

What are the symptoms of respiratory syncytial virus? Who is most at risk? Are there tests for it? Is it Covid, the flu or R.S.V. ? Here’s what to know about R.S.V.

In May, the F.D.A. approved GSK’s vaccine for R.S.V. for adults who are 60 and older. The vaccine, sold as Arexvy, became the first in the world approved for sale  to protect older adults from the virus.

F.D.A. experts also approved a R.S.V. vaccine by Pfizer to be administered to pregnant women  and aimed at protecting infants from the virus.

In July, the F.D.A. also approved a monoclonal antibody shot , called Beyfortus, that is aimed at preventing R.S.V. in infants and vulnerable toddlers .

The approval of the vaccines and the monoclonal antibody shot has allowed adults and children to receive protection against R.S.V. for the first time. But  some pregnant women and infants appear to have received the wrong shots .

  • I challenged myself to make three-course meals for seven days straight.
  • I made both complex and simple meals throughout the week, though I had to go grocery shopping twice.
  • Some days inspired my creativity but mostly, the cooking and dishes left me exhausted.

I've loved cooking and baking for a long time but lately, spending time in the kitchen has felt more like a chore.

I decided to challenge myself to make three-course meals in hopes of snapping out of my cooking rut. I made appetizers, main entrées, and desserts every day for a week.

Here's how the challenge went.

<p>Before I started cooking, I <a href="https://www.insider.com/i-ate-the-same-dinner-every-night-for-two-weeks-2023-1">planned a dinner menu</a> and went grocery shopping. I wanted a mix of meals that I've made in the past and some new recipes that required the same ingredients I'd use for the other dishes.</p><p>I'm vegetarian so <a href="https://www.insider.com/giving-up-meat-experience-2019-5">none of my meals included meat</a>.</p><p>I was expecting a busy workweek, so I tried to plan less time-consuming recipes on weekdays.

I spent a lot of time brainstorming and menu planning.

Before I started cooking, I planned a dinner menu and went grocery shopping. I wanted a mix of meals that I've made in the past and some new recipes that required the same ingredients I'd use for the other dishes.

I'm vegetarian so none of my meals included meat .

I was expecting a busy workweek, so I tried to plan less time-consuming recipes on weekdays. Ultimately, I opted for simple appetizers and main courses and more complex desserts.

I went grocery shopping on the first day of the experiment and on the fifth day to ensure some fresh items wouldn't go bad before I could use them.

In total, I spent $115 on groceries, not including the pantry and fridge staples I already had on hand.

<p>My day-two menu included a <a href="https://www.mexicoinmykitchen.com/tres-leches-cake/">tres leches cake</a> that needed to chill overnight, so I got started on that in the early afternoon of day one.</p><p>I kept the first day's meal fairly simple since I was prepping two desserts on the same day.</p><p>I went with a starter of salad skewers made with pear, arugula, and Brie plus a sprinkle of pecans and a drizzle of balsamic glaze.</p><p>I complemented the flavors of the appetizer with a pear-and-white-cheddar mac and cheese inspired by a restaurant meal I had at Lake Tahoe last year.

I had to kick off my experiment with two desserts, since one needed plenty of time to chill.

My day-two menu included a tres leches cake that needed to chill overnight, so I got started on that in the early afternoon of day one.

I kept the first day's meal fairly simple since I was prepping two desserts on the same day.

I went with a starter of salad skewers made with pear, arugula, and Brie plus a sprinkle of pecans and a drizzle of balsamic glaze.

I complemented the flavors of the appetizer with a pear-and-white-cheddar mac and cheese inspired by a restaurant meal I had at Lake Tahoe last year. I roasted the pears with spices, made a white-cheddar sauce, and combined the ingredients with cooked pasta.

For dessert, I kept a fall theme with a pumpkin streusel .

Day one had me feeling creative and inspired for the week ahead, but I was already tired of washing so many dishes.

<p>For day two, I was relieved that my tres leches cake was already mostly prepped in the fridge.</p><p>I went with a simple appetizer of <a href="https://www.insider.com/which-brand-tortilla-chips-should-i-get-at-store-ranking-review">fresh guacamole</a> and tortilla chips and a veggie-packed dinner of sweet-potato "nachos."</p><p>I didn't feel like making a big dinner when the time to cook came around, and this is normally a time when I'd just make something fast, like grilled cheese, or order something from a restaurant.</p><p>But I pushed through and was glad I did because the entire meal tasted great.</p><p>Yet again, I had a lot of dishes to clean up at the end of the day but I tried to find some gratitude that I could make such a tasty, veggie-packed meal on a busy Monday.</p>

Thankfully, the weekend prep work meant I didn’t have to make a dessert on the second day.

For day two, I was relieved that my tres leches cake was already mostly prepped in the fridge.

I went with a simple appetizer of fresh guacamole and tortilla chips and a veggie-packed dinner of sweet-potato "nachos."

I didn't feel like making a big dinner when the time to cook came around, and this is normally a time when I'd just make something fast, like grilled cheese, or order something from a restaurant.

But I pushed through and was glad I did because the entire meal tasted great.

Yet again, I had a lot of dishes to clean up at the end of the day but I tried to find some gratitude that I could make such a tasty, veggie-packed meal on a busy Monday.

<p>The third day of the experiment fell on a day I was going to a concert so I opted for a quicker three-course meal full of comforting fall flavors.</p><p>I went with my no-recipe pumpkin chili, which I made with onion, peppers, beans, pumpkin, tomato paste, lots of spices, and veggie broth.</p><p>For the appetizer, I made Jiffy cornbread and an easy butter with honey and sea salt.</p><p>For dessert, I spooned apple-pear fillings over puff pastry so I didn't have to break out the stand mixer or any measuring cups.</p><p>Though the <a href="https://www.insider.com/cooking-shortcuts-that-waste-time-2019-3">meal was filled with shortcuts</a>, it still turned out to be delicious and felt better than grabbing fast food or eating an expensive dinner at the concert venue.</p><p>The easy meal also meant I finally had a little relief from doing the dishes.</p>

I was impressed with my day-three meal from start to finish.

The third day of the experiment fell on a day I was going to a concert so I opted for a quicker three-course meal full of comforting fall flavors.

I went with my no-recipe pumpkin chili, which I made with onion, peppers, beans, pumpkin, tomato paste, lots of spices, and veggie broth.

For the appetizer, I made Jiffy cornbread and an easy butter with honey and sea salt.

For dessert, I spooned apple-pear fillings over puff pastry so I didn't have to break out the stand mixer or any measuring cups.

Though the meal was filled with shortcuts , it still turned out to be delicious and felt better than grabbing fast food or eating an expensive dinner at the concert venue.

The easy meal also meant I finally had a little relief from doing the dishes.

<p>I expected to be a little worn out by the middle of the week so I planned for a super simple dinner: A salad with honey-mustard dressing, a jalapeño-popper-style stuffed plant-based cheeseburger with roasted potatoes on the side, and ice cream for dessert.</p><p>Wednesday was long and tough so I was looking forward to some comforting food that still offered a lot of nutrients.</p><p>But I could tell that I rushed through making the food, as this meal didn't taste as good as the others. The hot strawberry compote and vanilla ice cream I finished the meal with was the best part.</p><p>My partner graciously helped me clean up my dishes on this day despite having a different dinner and dishes for himself.</p><p>At this point, I just hoped I would have a fresh surge of energy to make it through the last few days of <a href="https://www.insider.com/baking-mistakes-people-make-2018-4">cooking and baking</a>.</p>

On the fourth day, I was exhausted, and my lack of enthusiasm was pretty evident in my cooking.

I expected to be a little worn out by the middle of the week so I planned for a super simple dinner: A salad with honey-mustard dressing, a jalapeño-popper-style stuffed plant-based cheeseburger with roasted potatoes on the side, and ice cream for dessert.

Wednesday was long and tough so I was looking forward to some comforting food that still offered a lot of nutrients.

But I could tell that I rushed through making the food, as this meal didn't taste as good as the others. The hot strawberry compote and vanilla ice cream I finished the meal with was the best part.

My partner graciously helped me clean up my dishes on this day despite having a different dinner and dishes for himself.

At this point, I just hoped I would have a fresh surge of energy to make it through the last few days of cooking and baking .

<p>Day five started with another grocery run, as some of my fresh ingredients were running low and I needed some extras to make the night's meal.</p><p>I decided last minute to switch my appetizer from cucumber bites to pumpkin-pear soup to use up some of the remaining produce.</p><p><a href="https://www.insider.com/best-three-ingredient-soup-recipe-everyone-should-know-from-chef-2022-11">Making the soup</a> was easier than I expected and it was so delicious, that I was glad I decided to take a detour.</p><p>For dinner, I made a sheet-pan meal of roasted chickpeas, peppers, zucchini, and carrots and paired them with an artfully smeared whipped lemon ricotta.

On day five, I felt creative and swapped the simple app I had planned for an autumnal soup.

Day five started with another grocery run, as some of my fresh ingredients were running low and I needed some extras to make the night's meal.

I decided last minute to switch my appetizer from cucumber bites to pumpkin-pear soup to use up some of the remaining produce.

Making the soup was easier than I expected and it was so delicious, that I was glad I decided to take a detour.

For dinner, I made a sheet-pan meal of roasted chickpeas, peppers, zucchini, and carrots and paired them with an artfully smeared whipped lemon ricotta. The veggies tasted delicious with the hint of cool, lemony ricotta cheese.

The lemon flavors continued with the easy mousse dessert , which only took about five minutes to prepare and a few hours to chill in the fridge. The lemony mousse was a huge hit for my partner and me.

I was glad I explored some new things because it got me excited for the final days of the experiment.

<p>I was so excited for Friday's dinner, which consisted of bruschetta, a meatless carbonara, and a fancy, more challenging <a href="https://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/9039-vanilla-creme-brulee">crème brûlée</a>.</p><p>Despite wanting a bit of a challenge, I was surprised by how easy the crème brûlée was. It only took about 15 minutes to prep, then the rest of the time was spent baking, chilling, or broiling.</p><p>The crème brûlée turned out nearly perfect, with a slightly overdone top. I knew instantly this would become a <a href="https://www.insider.com/how-to-make-best-chocolate-chip-cookies-tips-from-chef">staple dessert recipe</a> for our household, and I was happy I decided to try something that seemed daunting to me.</p><p>My success with the crème brûlée restored my excitement heading into the last day.</p>

Day six fell on a Friday, so I made it into a date night.

I was so excited for Friday's dinner, which consisted of bruschetta, a meatless carbonara, and a fancy, more challenging crème brûlée .

Despite wanting a bit of a challenge, I was surprised by how easy the crème brûlée was. It only took about 15 minutes to prep, then the rest of the time was spent baking, chilling, or broiling.

The crème brûlée turned out nearly perfect, with a slightly overdone top. I knew instantly this would become a staple dessert recipe for our household, and I was happy I decided to try something that seemed daunting to me.

My success with the crème brûlée restored my excitement heading into the last day.

<p>On day seven, I had plans with a friend so my final three-course meal was a little early.</p><p>I went with a game-day theme of cream-cheese-stuffed bell peppers, Buffalo cauliflower and tofu with a side of blue-cheese dipping sauce and zucchini, and my <a href="https://www.insider.com/which-famous-chef-has-the-best-chocolate-chip-cookie-recipe">favorite chocolate-chip cookies</a> for dessert.</p><p>I winged the cream-cheese-stuffed peppers but realized I should've followed a recipe, as they turned out quite bland.</p><p>Thankfully, the entrée made up for the lackluster app.</p><p>Of course, the chocolate-chip cookies were also a hit, but this is a dessert I make often. I knew I could count on them for a good end to the week.</p>

With the exception of the appetizer, my final meal and dessert ended the week on a high note.

On day seven, I had plans with a friend so my final three-course meal was a little early.

I went with a game-day theme of cream-cheese-stuffed bell peppers, Buffalo cauliflower and tofu with a side of blue-cheese dipping sauce and zucchini, and my favorite chocolate-chip cookies for dessert.

I winged the cream-cheese-stuffed peppers but realized I should've followed a recipe, as they turned out quite bland.

Thankfully, the entrée made up for the lackluster app.

Of course, the chocolate-chip cookies were also a hit, but this is a dessert I make often. I knew I could count on them for a good end to the week.

<p>Overall, this challenge got me more excited to be back in the kitchen — at least at first. I loved planning out my menu, and my first day of cooking and baking felt really fun and inspiring.</p><p>By the end, I was a little overwhelmed with how much time I had to spend making each meal, <a href="https://www.insider.com/best-tips-grocery-shopping-budget-aldi-employee">how much money I was spending on groceries</a>, and the long amount of time I spent cleaning up afterward.</p><p>I could tell a major difference between the meals where I put little thought or energy into them and the meals where I was actually excited to be making them.</p><p>But upon reflection, I finished this experiment feeling inspired to try putting together one three-course dinner a week as a treat to myself and my partner moving forward.</p><p>I don't plan to force myself to make something so elaborate when I'm not in the mood but this experiment inspired me to <a href="https://www.insider.com/only-ate-home-cooked-food-for-a-month-what-happened-2019-8">restore my joy for cooking</a>.</p>

I learned a lot in this short week, including how to tap into my inspiration and excitement for cooking.

Overall, this challenge got me more excited to be back in the kitchen — at least at first. I loved planning out my menu, and my first day of cooking and baking felt really fun and inspiring.

By the end, I was a little overwhelmed with how much time I had to spend making each meal, how much money I was spending on groceries , and the long amount of time I spent cleaning up afterward.

I could tell a major difference between the meals where I put little thought or energy into them and the meals where I was actually excited to be making them.

But upon reflection, I finished this experiment feeling inspired to try putting together one three-course dinner a week as a treat to myself and my partner moving forward.

I don't plan to force myself to make something so elaborate when I'm not in the mood but this experiment inspired me to restore my joy for cooking .

3 Days in Moscow – Itinerary: What to Do, How to Get Around & Where to Stay

A 3 day Moscow itinerary: what not to miss on a short trip to Moscow

What to do in Moscow in 3 days?

Don’t worry; 72 hours is enough to get a glimpse of the vibrant and expressive side of Moscow.

Russia. Just the mention of the name conjures images of red flags, vast spaces, and deadly distances.

Moscow is the heart of Russia, with an incredibly turbulent history, gorgeous architecture and slightly strange people with a mystic Russian soul.

While visiting Moscow, the brutal history is palpable. But, with so many shops, restaurants, and malls, the city is rightfully considered a perfect destination for a city break .

Moscow’s relatively compact city center is teeming with sights: theaters, museums, boulevards, and beautiful city squares. But because of that, planning a short visit to Moscow can be quite overwhelming.

I fell in love with Moscow a long time ago and I want to use this article to point out my favorite sights and spots in the city.

My 3-day Moscow itinerary is ideal for first-time visitors and those who want to see as much of the city as possible. So let’s get started!

NOTE:   This article is currently not being updated because of Russia’s war in Ukraine.

3 Days in Moscow – Itinerary

Day 1: iconic moscow.

3 days in Moscow itinerary

There is no doubt that the Red Square is the heart of Moscow and almost any trip to this city starts from here .

The square has an abundance of sights to see and you should probably expect to spend at least 2-3 hours here if you want to explore every nook and cranny.

Tip: Book a Red Square, Kremlin & Metro Tour to skip the line and learn more about Moscow’s incredible history.

The massive Lenin mausoleum, the opulent St Basil Cathedral, the GUM department store, and the State Historical Museum became integral parts of the architectural ensemble.

And depending on where you enter the Red square, those four sights are the first things to see.

Three days in Moscow itinerary

Just a stone’s throw away from the Red Square there is a majestic Christ the Saviour Cathedral.

Originally built in 1883 it was then demolished in 1931 during the Soviet period and finally rebuilt between 1994-1997.

This awe-inspiring cathedral is one of the tallest Orthodox churches in the world . And it has a convenient location for exploring the rest of the city.

End the first of your three days in Moscow by exploring the area near the Old Arbat Street. This is one of the oldest neighborhoods in Moscow. It dates back to the 15th century and allows you to enjoy the authentic ambiance of the Old City.

Located just a few blocks away there is the New Arbat Street. While it is much younger and less fancy than its older counterpart the street is filled with some of the most vibrant restaurants and liveliest nightclubs in Moscow .

Both Old and New Arbat streets have a wide range of restaurants with food catering for all budgets.

Day 2: Beyond Red Square. Moscow’s Parks.

On the second day of this Moscow itinerary, I suggest exploring Moscow’s green lung.

In fact, there are way too many parks to visit in just one day, thus I will only mention my favorite ones.

3 days in Moscow: what not to miss: Gorky Park

Named after Maxim Gorky this is one of the trendiest and most hipster-friendly areas in Moscow .

Originally opened in 1928 the park underwent a massive transformation that has turned it into a charming recreation ground with an open-air cinema theater, bicycle- and skate-rental spots, and contemporary public art projects.

If you visit the Russian capital in winter, make sure to pay this park a visit because it offers one of the best ice skating rinks in Moscow .

Kolomenskoye Park

A 3 days Moscow itinerary: what not to miss - Kolomenskoye Park

Conveniently situated in the southeast of Moscow this huge park is both an open-air museum and a UNESCO World Heritage site .

With an impressive number of original buildings, churches, bell towers, and pavilions, Kolomenskoye dates back to the 14th century and the Ascension church to the mid-16th century.

It may take up to four hours to explore the area near the church so you can easily combine these two parks in one trip.

Day 3: Hidden Gems in Moscow

The patriarch ponds.

What to do on day 3 in Moscow

This tranquil and charming neighborhood next to Mayakovaskaya Metro station has long been known as the area popular with expatriates. However, only a handful of tourists make their way here .

I absolutely recommend visiting this tiny park especially if you’re a Bulgakov fan.

The residential area near the Patriarch Ponds is where the conversation between Berlioz, Ivan Bezdomny, and Woland has been situated by Mikhail Bulgakov in his popular novel “The Master and Margarita”.

The Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception

A 3 day Moscow Itinerary - what to do in Moscow

Situated not far from Moscow Zoo and the Embassy of Poland, this neo-Gothic Roman Catholic Church is one of the largest and most beautiful Catholic cathedrals in Russia .

Built in the early 20th century, the building has had a fairly complicated history. It was shut down and suffered terrible damage from aerial bombings during the Second World War but was restored in 1990.

These days you can attend one of the masses offered in a range of languages and enjoy classical music concerts free of charge in this lesser-known architectural gem.

There you have it – the perfect 3-Day Moscow Itinerary!

Tip: Save time and money by getting the 1, 2, or 3-day city pass in Moscow .

I can also highly recommend going on a guided tour if you want to learn more about Moscow or check out one of these activities in Moscow:

How To Get To Moscow’s City Center

How to get from the airport to Moscow

With four international airports located not far from the city, there are many convenient ways to reach the city center from any of them.

Chances are you will arrive at Sheremetyevo, Domodedovo, or Vnukovo airport as only a handful of flights arrive at Zhukovsky airport.

The Aeroexpress train is the fastest (and my favorite) way to reach Moscow city center from the Sheremetyevo, Domodedovo, or Vnukovo airport. Trains run every 30 minutes between around 5 a.m. to 12 a.m. and cost around $7 USD (500 RUB) one way.

With frequent heavy traffic in Moscow, the train is definitely the best way to get to the city center at a predictable time.

But, if you travel on a tight budget, there is a way to save money on transportation . All airports are connected with the nearest subway station by bus. These are not that comfy but really cheap. You could travel for less than $3 USD one way.

Keep in mind, however, that if you choose to take the bus you’ll have to use the metro to get from the outskirts of Moscow to the center. Watch for bus 851 if you arrive at Sheremetyevo airport and bus 308 if you arrive at Domodedovo airport.

Getting Around in Moscow

How to get around in Moscow

Moscow’s ticketing system for their public transport can be confusing especially if you’ve never visited the city before and don’t speak Russian.

It is always good to remember that most stations and ticketing machines can get ridiculously crowded during peak hours.

I can’t recommend purchasing a Troika card enough when it comes to getting around. You can get a Troika card that is valid for 3 days for less than $7 USD, so don’t miss out on the opportunity to save money and avoid wasting time in line.

This reusable card allows you to use the Moscow metro, as well as Moscow’s Central Ring, busses, trams, and trolley busses. There is no limit to the number of rides during the validity of your card.

How to get the Troika card: you can buy this card at any metro kiosk.

While they do have English announcements in the metro on most lines, signs at Metro stations are often written only in Russian. Getting a printed copy of the metro map might come in handy to overcome the language barrier and find your way around.

Where to Stay in Moscow

Where to stay in Moscow

When you’re planning a 3-day Moscow itinerary, you’ll find out there are literally thousands of places to stay.

Accommodation in Moscow ranges from luxury hotels to budget hostels that often have both shared facilities and private rooms.

To save on accommodation I recommend using the Ostrovok hotel booking engine. They often offer better deals on hotels in Moscow than websites like Booking.com.

If you’re looking for budget hotels in Moscow, I recommend 999 Gold Hotel and Orange House Hotel near the Victory Park.

Airbnb and Couchsurfing are also popular in Moscow and most of the hosts speak English well.

3 thoughts on “3 Days in Moscow – Itinerary: What to Do, How to Get Around & Where to Stay”

Going to visit Moscow next week as I don’t know much about it so I was looking for a blog to know the best things to do there. Thanks for this information as now I know what to do there.

Hey, Alyson!

Moscow is a wonderful city to visit at any time of the year! I visited it both in winter and summer and every season has its appointed uses and advantages.

Gorky Park is one of my favorite spots to hang out in Moscow and it can be easily reached by metro because things have evolved. Now they do have most of the signs (including the ones on the floor) written in English, so chances are you won’t get lost in the metro the way you could several years ago!

We did this 20 years ago! This takes me right back. Moscow was the first stop of our first RTW. We did all of the above but it was winter, snow on the ground. I loved Gorky Park, so atmospheric, like a spy movie. We had to remember the shapes of the letters to find the right stations. It looks like nothing much has changed!
