What do you think the statistics in growth for remote work at white collar jobs has shifted from 2019 to 2022?

Or we can look at this report from early 2021

https://www.ncci.com/SecureDocuments/QEB/QEB_Q4_2020_RemoteWork.html

Before the pandemic, only 6% of the employed worked primarily from home and about three-quarters of workers had never worked from home
In May 2020, over one-third of the employed worked from home due to the pandemic—a close match for pre-pandemic estimates of the share of work that could be done remotely
Office-based business and professional occupations were most likely to implement remote work, with three-quarters of such employees working from home early in the pandemic
Most workers and employers expect to permanently implement more flexible remote work opportunities after the pandemic
Increased remote work will negatively affect businesses that support commuters and business travelers, especially in transportation and leisure and hospitality

Nearly two years into the COVID-19 pandemic, roughly six-in-ten U.S. workers who say their jobs can mainly be done from home (59%) are working from home all or most of the time. The vast majority of these workers (83%) say they were working from home even before the omicron variant started to spread in the United States, according to a new Pew Research Center survey. This marks a decline from October 2020, when 71% of those with jobs that could be done from home were working from home all or most of the time, but it’s still much higher than the 23% who say they teleworked frequently before the coronavirus outbreak.

So if you can work a job at say Intel, but not have to pay Silicon Valley rent/house prices wouldn't someone consider doing it?

It's really ****ing common sense.

Where I live has experienced a healthy population boom from Boston area employees who can get a house around here for 1/2 the price of a house in Boston and it's surrounding suburbs, and still make 6+ figures.
 
So it is your position then that outside of the job market, living in the southern red states is much more appealing to most people than living in the blue coastal cities?

No my position is that some people would rather live somewhere with a cheaper $ per square foot than others.

South has some of the cheapest states to live in.

For example, houses around me go 170-230 per square foot, and that's relatively cheap. Houses in Houston can be gotten for cheaper. Some people would rather live in a larger house with a smaller mortgage. South is a better place for that. Just like how some of these filthy casual boston people were chased out froma round me when they had their first winter where it got to -30 at night, I'm sure there will be bounce back migration from the South even if it's basically just a dead cat bounce type of thing.
 
Lol I'm aware.

And COVID happened and everyone migrated to the free states

You being a seal can't put two and two together.

But following your logic, we should see a reversal of this pattern very soon.
 
Maybe it was parents who wanted their kid to go to school?

No!

Maybe it was a business owner who wants to operate their business?

No!

Maybe it was my wife who fled NY after they made elective surgery illegal?

No!

It's the cheaper real estate and warmer weather, which just started last year
 
ODs Up 43% over last year.

I think we were told that Seattle was a democratic gem and nothing was a problem there over the last 2 years ?
 
if i'm obsessed with trump etc

i'd hate to see the classification of the multiple topics the fraud boy is oddly obsessed about
