A recent survey reveals that Massachusetts employers are increasingly hiring remote workers from outside the state, with over 85% reporting some out-of-state staff. Respondents indicate the high cost of living and business operations in Massachusetts pose competitive challenges. The trend, accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic, reflects a growing acceptance of remote work despite concerns about communication quality. The survey, conducted by McKinsey & Co. on behalf of the Massachusetts Business Roundtable, illustrates a shift in workforce dynamics as companies adapt to new economic realities.
COVID gave us a license to be hybrid. I would argue that the quality of an interaction is lessened when it's over Zoom versus being in person.
There's a growing comfort level with hiring some portion of your workforce out-of-state. The cost of living has become a cost of doing business.
