>9. A reverse of the people moving to big cities occurs, more people moving into smaller towns happens, this was triggered by covid but continues as more and more jobs are able to be done remotely.
These seem opposite, to me. I agree many jobs will eventually be automated. Especially manufacturing and other things small towns are known for. Can small cities survive with remote workers replacing the lost jobs?
- subsubzero 6y agoThis isn't really tied to techjob losses, some job loss will happen but more like blue collar industries that haven't been digitized. So more developers, less non-tech workers. That being said alot more people in tech will move to smaller towns.
- bluGill 6y agoAs more jobs move remote people will discover they don't need to live in a big city. Small cities offer a best of both worlds: people around for when you want human contact, but not too many; cheap enough that you can afford some nice property in the city.
