It depends a lot on the field you work in, your company’s policies, what part of the country you’re in, and, to some extent, personal preference.
The average rank-and-file, working stiff, pencil-pusher type? Probably not. They’re probably wearing business casual- slacks, maybe a shirt and tie, or maybe just a polo shirt or something along those lines. Maybe they wore a suit to their job interview, and maybe one or two important meetings and events.
Higher-level management and executives might, certain sales positions, lawyers, politicians, finance/banking jobs, etc.
But even then it can vary a lot. They might only wear a suit for certain meetings and such but change into more casual clothes for the rest of the day, some parts of the country are stuffier than others, I’m pretty sure you’re going to see more people wearing suits in the Midwest than on the coasts.
And of course, some people just like wearing suits, I work for my county government, one of the higher-ups I saw around a lot, the director of some department or another, tended to show up in a full 3-piece suit. He didn’t have to, no one else at a similar level in the county dresses that way, and the guy who replaced him usually just wears khakis and a shirt & tie, and sometimes even just a polo, but this guy liked wearing a suit (his last name had the word “vest” in it, and I think he found that amusing)
