Hybrid Work


Work is not where you go. It’s what you do. In today’s hybrid work world, it is no longer enough to solve for the challenges of remote work or support a safe office re-entry. It’s about finding solutions to not just recover in the face of change, but to thrive and innovate. Empower your workers at home, in the office, or anywhere.

2022’s 10 best cities for remote workers

  • Written by Michelle M. Havich
  • 10th December 2021

The COVID pandemic changed how America lives and works. According to a recent Gallup poll, as of Sept. 2021, nearly half of U.S. full-time employees were fully or partly working remotely, and more than nine in 10 remote workers hope to keep telecommuting beyond the pandemic. So, if people can now work from anywhere, where are they choosing to live?

To help telecommuters narrow their shortlist, LawnStarter recently ranked 2022’s best cities for remote workers.

The ranking is based on an analysis of 194 of the biggest cities in the United States that looked at remote job opportunities, internet connectivity, cost of living and availability of personal workspace, among 20 total factors. The overall scores (out of 100 points) were averaged across weighted metrics to come up with the final ranking.

The ranking reflects that, while there is a trend to move to the suburbs, larger cities tend to be safer bets for remote workers. Eight of the top 10 cities have at least 250,000 residents, while the other two are mid-size cities with populations between 100,000 and 250,000. Also, Texas is home to half of the top 10 cities, earning many of the highest scores in the Opportunity and Connectivity categories.

Click the gallery above to see the diverse list of cities that are best for remote workers.

    Ahead of the historic investment in American infrastructure, government organizations are facing an unprecedented employment and retention squeeze.
