Arizona is the sixth best state for working from home, according to a study, largely because of how many people worked from home before the pandemic.
That trend of people making their morning commute from their living room to their dens or home offices will have a big impact beyond just the workforce, including ramifications for the real estate sector as people from other metros can find new homes in the region as well as potential impacts for dining out.
As the pandemic eventually subsides, experts believe many companies will adopt a hybrid model of in-office work and working from home, hoping to glean the benefits of in-person collaboration while keeping the work-from-home flexibility many workers have come to expect.
