"THE WORST periods of the COVID-19 pandemic may be in the rearview mirror, but one of the biggest changes brought about by the pandemic is still shaping people's lives in New Hampshire: where and how Granite Staters work. Remote jobs, commuting habits, and even housing markets look different than they did just a few years ago, and those shifts have reshaped the state's economy."
"U.S. Census data released in September shows many pandemic-influenced work patterns haven't ended and appear to be here to stay. Here are three key takeaways about how work has changed in New Hampshire since the COVID-19 pandemic and how it's stayed the same. Phil Sletten is research director at New Hampshire Fiscal Policy Institute, a nonpartisan, independent research nonprofit. He lives in Henniker."
The worst periods of the COVID-19 pandemic may be in the rearview mirror, but one of the largest pandemic-driven shifts remains the location and manner of work for New Hampshire residents. Remote employment, altered commuting patterns, and changes in housing demand have modified economic dynamics across the state. Those shifts have reshaped employment geography, daily travel behavior, and residential market pressures, producing notable economic effects. U.S. Census data released in September indicates many pandemic-influenced work patterns persist and appear likely to continue. Phil Sletten serves as research director at New Hampshire Fiscal Policy Institute and lives in Henniker.
