I can only really speak to what's going on with government economists, since I don't know anyone else who works for the government. 

At least one agency in DC is making them go back to the office. Ironically, the agency I heard about had already gotten out of it's office lease, so they had to move into vacant office space well outside the city.

I know of at least one other agency that's remaining remote, while continuing to pay for an enormous amount of unused office space.
