As cities across the United States grapple with the implications of an increasingly remote workforce, the Lone Star State has emerged as a prodigy in this new frontier of labor. A study by financial data and software firm SmartAsset ranked Frisco, Texas, as the second city nationwide for its sizeable remote worker populace, accounting for almost 40% of the workforce. This drama unfolds as Austin, the heart of Central Texas, clinches a respectable position in the chart at 30.7%.
This research of 344 U.S. cities with populations of 100,000 or more paints a vivid picture of the changing work landscape in the United States, one that central Texas is well-positioned to embrace. Despite the growing trend of remote work, the Dallas-Fort Worth area continues to hold its ground with 10% of office construction nationwide, suggesting a complex dynamic between remote and traditional work environments.
As remote work continues to gain traction, real estate professionals must remain attuned to these shifts, creatively marrying commercial and residential real estate opportunities.
