Remote work in Vermont has rapidly increased as more people recognize they can live where they want and still work where they want.
Over 21 million Americans worked remotely full-time in 2019. Millions more are working remotely due to the pandemic, but that trend doesn’t look temporary. Over 36 million Americans are predicted to work remotely by 2025.
Remote workers generally report higher job satisfaction and employers report higher productivity from workers who telecommute. A company’s ability to attract and retain talent is also improved by offering remote work options.
National media outlets are talking about the “new” interest in remote work. But remote working certainly isn’t new, and Vermont’s population of “remotes” is always growing. Investment bankers, TV producers, high-tech company executives, writers, healthcare providers, and options traders all work globally from their desks in Vermont.
