What’s Happening
Remote workers face mixed impacts. On the positive side, you avoid commuting costs as gas prices surge 20%+. However, home energy bills are rising (electricity and natural gas prices up 3-8%), and you’re bearing those costs during work hours. Internet service providers may raise rates. Digital nomads abroad face higher travel costs and potential safety concerns in some regions. The good news: remote work demand is increasing as more companies offer it to help employees cope with commuting costs, potentially creating new opportunities.
