Reply to comment by darkpaladin in Rather than heralding a new era of prosperity for rural and remote regions, remote working, inspired by the pandemic, is exacerbating the global urban-rural divide in the digital platform labour market by giuliomagnifico
It’s exactly this. I live in a small town in the Deep South and have a remote job. I’m not planning on moving to a huge city by any means, but I am moving to a more mid-sized town so that I have access to a Trader Joe’s, Target, an airport, bigger hospital, etc. Right now, all of those things are an hour drive from me. My neighbor recently had a baby and the nearest L&D was a 45 minute drive. Sure, my money stretches farther here but it’s at significant cost to my quality of life.
