The US is becoming increasingly split between high-priced cities where the rich and powerful congregate and more affordable locales that offer jobs that can be done from anywhere, according to a new study.
The report from ADP Research Institute found that jobs that don’t pay enough to cover the cost of housing in places like New York, Washington and San Francisco have been moving to less expensive places like Orlando, Phoenix and Las Vegas. While the survey data ends in 2021, the trends that it documents have likely extended, thanks to the sustained viability of remote work.
