I live in a town where the primary industry is resource extraction. There are some software development jobs but they pay a pittance relative to remote work. I see many of my peers in my area working remotely (alongside myself) for this reason. I expect that local salaries will have to be increased or those local jobs will become stepping stones for new grads to transition to remote work eventually. So, maybe big city folks will see their wages stagnate, but for those of us out in "Kansas" it's a dream.
