"In the immediate aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic and in the years since, remote work has grown common. Today, the percentage of work-from-home (WFH) employees has more than doubled since 2019, according to the U.S. Census Bureau, and phrases like "Zoom in" or "virtual happy hour" have fully entered the lexicon. Even if a job isn't fully remote, it's likely hybrid - meaning a few days in office and a few days remote - allowing for more travel and general life flexibility."
"Overall, working from home also makes us happier and healthier. Remote employees can sleep longer due to the lack of a commute, eat more fruits and vegetables thanks to the proximity of a home fridge, and spend more time with their families. It's no surprise that WFH availability is a top priority amongst applicants on sites like LinkedIn. Of course, working from home can also have its disadvantages, like potentially spotty Wi-Fi or a lack of in-person connection."
Remote work has expanded dramatically since 2019, with work-from-home employee percentages more than doubling and remote-related phrases entering common usage. Hybrid arrangements enable greater travel and life flexibility by mixing office days with remote days. Working from home yields health and happiness benefits: longer sleep, easier access to fruits and vegetables, and more family time. Remote work availability ranks highly among job applicants. Downsides include spotty Wi-Fi and reduced in-person connection. Digital nomads should evaluate cities based on coworking spaces, third places, affordability, internet access, and urban charm; Denver exemplifies many of these qualities.
