Even as life gradually returns to normal, 25%-35% of Americans are still working from home. If you fall in that cohort, then you should thank your lucky stars that you’re in Texas, as the state ranks among one of the best for remote workers, according to a new study.
Texas ranks as the No. 7 best state to live in for remote workers, according to a study from WalletHub. The personal finance website cited the state’s high average square footage of homes and low cost of internet service as some of the reasons for the Lone Star State’s spot in the top 10.
The top 10 list of WalletHub’s Best States for Working from Home is as follows:
- New Jersey
- District of Columbia
- Delaware
- Connecticut
- Massachusetts
- Utah
- Texas
- Washington
- Maryland
- New York
WalletHub compiled the list using 12 key metrics, including the number of telecommuting jobs available and the average cost of living, with New Jersey copping the No.1 spot. Meanwhile, Alaska was ranked as the worst state for remote workers.
Although Texas ranked high in some metrics, it was pretty average when it came to the cost of electricity and household internet access, for which it ranked No. 25 and No. 29, respectively.
According to WalletHub, 20% of all job listings were for remote work at the beginning of 2022.
