It would change the economy. Rich folks (corporations/state/federal) rely on gas sales, childcare fees, auto-accidents, traffic tickets and tolls. Disappointed, because instead of advancing remote work options, seems like all major corporations demand workers to return to the office with little to no justification or consideration for their employees. Benefits include:  • Help for parents • Less accidents/deaths and traffic congestion • Workers would save time/money • Reduction in greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) I believe that remote/hybrid work should be optional for those who can complete their job requirements regardless of where they are at.

In an era of remote work, Americans are surprisingly still moving for jobs, but there’s a twist: New data reveals that job-related relocations and better housing are the two most powerful motivators: https://cx.page/2sz1jc

Telework Has Quietly Solved One of the Federal Government’s Biggest Employment Challenges – A study from Boston College shows that telework has helped older workers with disabilities remain employed, bypassing barriers like inaccessible office spaces and commuting challenges. – These gains are now at risk, as efforts to reverse federal remote work policies threaten to displace employees and undermine DEI goals. – Employment among individuals aged 51–64 with disabilities is higher than pre-pandemic levels, thanks to remote work. These roles provide flexibility, accommodate health needs, and reduce reliance on public assistance. – Forcing workers back to offices could exacerbate disparities in leadership roles and reverse years of progress toward inclusivity. – Sustaining telework policies is a strategic move to retain experienced talent, reduce costs, and ensure a competitive and diverse workforce. – Policymakers must prioritize remote work as a tool for economic inclusion, ensuring these gains endure.

Bigger market = bigger job opportunities. Smaller market = smaller job opportunities. The WFH tide has turned according to a recent paper by Moretti, a UC Berkeley economist. Employees in small niche markets will: (1) wind up unemployed for a long stretch, (2) be forced to settle for a local job they're overqualified for, or (3) have to make an abrupt and costly move back to the big city they abandoned. #workplace #millerknoll #WFH #workopportunities

💡 Understanding the nuances of different job markets is crucial for businesses and job seekers alike. The United States and Brazil, two of the largest economies in the Americas, present unique challenges and opportunities. Here are some key differences and challenges I noticed between the job markets in these two countries: 1. Regulatory Environment: US: Generally business-friendly, but complex labor laws can vary by state, impacting employment practices and benefits. Brazil: Strict labor laws provide strong worker protections but can make hiring and firing processes cumbersome and expensive for employers. 2. Workforce Demographics: US: Aging population is creating a need for healthcare services and innovative solutions to support an older workforce. Brazil: Younger population offers a dynamic workforce but requires investment in education and training to fully capitalize on this demographic dividend. 3. Cultural Differences: US: Emphasizes individual achievement and mobility. Networking and personal branding are critical. Brazil: Strong focus on relationships and personal connections. Loyalty to employers is valued, but job hopping is becoming more common among younger workers. 4. Remote Work Trends: US: Rapid adoption of remote work, especially post-pandemic, with significant infrastructure supporting telecommuting. Brazil: While remote work is growing, disparities in internet access and digital infrastructure can pose challenges. Navigating these challenges requires tailored strategies for each market. Companies must adapt their recruitment, retention, and training practices to align with local conditions and cultural nuances. #JobMarket #USBrazilRelations #GlobalEconomy #CareerDevelopment #HR #EmploymentTrends 🇧🇷 🇺🇲

Forbes Magazine predicts that by 2025, 32.6 million people will be working remotely or in a hybrid setup. This shift often enables families and individuals to relocate to more affordable areas.

Hybrid work is the future, according to Morning Consult's "State of Workers 2024" survey of 6,600+ U.S. adults. https://lnkd.in/gM5eW9p4 Amy He writes: • Looking forward, with the exception of older generations and hourly employees, strong pluralities of other demographic groups said they plan to apply jobs where they can work in a hybrid setting. In the face of so many RTO mandates, many working Americans likely know that the winds are blowing toward hybrid work. • But employers should note that requests to return full-time in-person won’t bode well: 38% of employed adults said they would seek other job opportunities if that was required of them, compared with 32% who said the same if they were required to work full-time remote. #careers #futureofwork #talent #data

How will massive state migration & work-from-home reshape the 2024 Presidential election? In a short piece I wrote with Chris Larkin, now available on VOX, we investigate this question. We find (a) remote workers are more likely to move State since 2020, (b) remote work opportunities are skewed towards left-leaning areas, (c) worker migration has overwhelming moved people in left-leaning areas to more "red" counties and States, and (d) in a vacuum, under the assumption people carry their origin-voting preferences with them, these forces alone would flip Florida for Harris and flip Georgia for Trump.
