Evansville Ranks High On ‘Top Places For Remote Workers’ List
The Wall Street Journal created a list of 10 great places to work from home and Evansville landed at number three!
The ranking was created after a poll found the top factors that people said they cared most about in a remote-work location, like affordability, high-speed internet, more living space, access to restaurants and art venues, and proximity to an airport. The Journal then weighted those and looked for cities and towns that fit those priorities. Springfield, MO came in at number one, followed by Joplin, MO, and then Evansville, IN.
So why Evansville?
