the people able to work from home are often incredibly well paid and are eating up real estate in expensive areas
there's no significant work from home initiative at the lower end of the pay scale
if anything wfh has exacerbated the problem, wealthier tech employees are living in desirable cities while people making less and have to go to the office don't have access to local-to-work real estate
- CyberDildonics 2y agoIncredibly well paid and eating up real estate in expensive areas? "How much does a Work From Home make? As of Oct 11, 2024, the average annual pay for a Work From Home in the United States is $61,178 a year. Just in case you need a simple salary calculator, that works out to be approximately $29.41 an hour." https://www.ziprecruiter.com/Salaries/Work-From-Home-Salary https://www.ziprecruiter.com/Salaries/Work-From-Home-Salary
- micromacrofoot 2y agoif you choose to believe ziprecruiter that's fine with me
- CyberDildonics 2y agoOf course I would, you made a claim without any evidence, data or numbers to back it up and zip recruiter is a site dedicated to hiring.
- micromacrofoot 2y agoat least I'm not financially incentivized to lie to you
- CyberDildonics 2y agoYou need to establish that it's a lie first, and to do that you need evidence.
- micromacrofoot 2y agoconveniently zip recruiter's data is proprietary again, believe who you want... but it's a little funny to blindly believe a company incentivized to lie to you more than any other random anecdote we're on equal footing in terms of evidence (I can build a fake chart based on my own data if you'd be more likely to believe that) and I have less of a financial incentive to lie to you
- CyberDildonics 2y agoDo you seriously think that you stating an claim (which doesn't even really make sense) is evidence? Do you actually not know what evidence is? Evidence is actual information gathered up from where it was created. Evidence is not you giving an opinion out of frustration because you want other people to agree that 'remote workers are inflating real estate prices'. https://www.zippia.com/remote-careers-2069923/salary/ https://www.zippia.com/remote-careers-2069923/salary/ https://www.flexjobs.com/blog/post/common-remote-jobs-how-much-they-pay/ https://www.flexjobs.com/blog/post/common-remote-jobs-how-mu... https://www.cnbc.com/2024/03/27/remote-workers-get-up-to-30percent-pay-increase-for-switching-to-in-office-jobs-says-new-research.html https://www.cnbc.com/2024/03/27/remote-workers-get-up-to-30p... You have no numbers and no information. You aren't even explaining where you are getting your ideas and how you came to your own conclusion. All you did was state something and start calling it the truth, then you can't believe that someone would contradict it with real sourced data.
- micromacrofoot 2y agoagain, you're falling for the assumption that proprietary corporate data is fact — the CNBC article you cite also cites zip recruiter and you couldn't audit that data if you wanted to... I'm doing the exact same thing zip recruiter is and you can't prove otherwise, you are providing me with 0 data that can be independently verified... you can't even look up their methodologies
