There is an increasing trend of remote workers migrating to different areas of the country because these workers have the freedom to choose their working locations. Thousands of remote workers have left America’s largest metropolitan areas, such as New York and San Francisco. An opposite effect has occurred in smaller cities and cities often classified as vacation cities, such as Austin and Nashville, with many remote workers choosing to move to these cities. This trend is due to college-educated workers increasingly moving away from the most expensive parts of the United States, and migrating to more affordable locations. Some workers have chosen to move into the suburbs and stay close to the city, which could be attributed to jobs with hybrid work schedules.
