"63% of US companies now have remote workers, according to a 2018 Upwork Study."

Hmm, I don't believe this number. According to the SBA [1], there are over 30 million small businesses in the USA (averaging just under 2 people each). These constitute the vast majority (99.9%) of US companies.

You probably can't do "an online survey of 1,005 workforce hiring decision makers obtained through a third-party, independent online sample" and get useful information about 63% of all companies. This sounds like Sample Bias galore. There aren't even 19M (.63*30M) companies with offices in this country.
