Goodbye Offices: Arizona Ranked One Of The Best Remote Work Locations

In 2020, the world shut down. A deadly global pandemic was running rampant through the streets, and the government was telling everyone to stay inside and lock their doors.

Since most people weren't allowed and/or comfortable leaving their homes, employers began a radical new system: "Remote Work".

It's been four years since everyone worked from their couch, but Arizona isn't ready to give that up.

Arizona is Perfect for Remote Work

No, remote work isn't based on a measurement of how remote your homestead may be. If it were, Arizona would likely be much further up this list. ElectricityRates just released their study on the effectiveness of remote work per state, and Arizona came out at fourth in the nation.

The only states higher than us are New York (#1), New Hampshire (#2), and Vermont (#3), which leaves Arizona in complete control of the western seaboard. Take that California.

What Makes Arizona Stand Out?

Arizona has two advantages over almost every state, and putting these all together paints a picture that Arizona is not just one of the best places to work remotely, but the best state.

One of the main benefits is our pay. Arizona's remote workers average a salary of $64,511, fourth best in the nation, and only about four grand lower than the spot above. Add this with Arizona's power outages, or lack thereof. We average only 0.8 major power outages a year, best for fourth in the U.S., and our outages only last an average of 95.01 minutes, second best.

All things considered, if you're tired of the same LED bulbs burning out your eyes and a boss who just won't leave you alone, maybe remote work is your calling. There's no better place to start.
