Out of habit, inertia, or just a plain fear of change, many white-collar workplaces have avoided allowing employees to regularly work from home — but that may soon change. Plenty of so-called knowledge workers are finding that they can comfortably do their job from just about anywhere they have a wifi connection and their laptop.
Among workers in the education industry, for example, 79% say they've been doing their job remotely in recent weeks — on par with those in the technology or advertising & marketing industries noted above. Among education workers, however, just 10% say they think they will want to work from home all the time when the coronavirus outbreak is no longer a threat.
Like teachers, many nonprofit workers have jobs that rely on personal interactions, such as running community health organizations or after-school programs; but like the white collar fields described above, many other nonprofit workers have desk jobs that can be done from just about anywhere.
Let's hope many of these high-value employees make it east of the mountains before deciding where to buy a house.
These tech sector employees who want to work permanently from home won't even need to move to the U.S., as they can provide their input from anywhere on the planet with the same degree of efficiency.
It's flexible, safer and Stressless!
Hope a ton of tech bros take their self-entitled, self-important asses out of the Bay Area!
cityoflorenceal will pay 10,000 dollars to any Tech worker who wants to become a big fish in a cool small town! Birth place to the Muscle Shoals sound and outdoor water recreation abound! 🍀🍀 400,000 dollar 3,000 square foot homes is also nice! 😇
More like work from garage!
