Want to work from home? These are the easiest states to have a hybrid-remote job

Warning for college grads: "future-proof" your career

As artificial intelligence changes the job landscape, how can college students protect themselves and their future? Workforce expert, Dr. Parminder Jassal, joins LiveNOW from FOX to explore the steps you can take now, to get ahead of the future.

A new study is revealing the easiest states to have a hybrid remote job. 

Work management experts at Asana analyzed 16 factors across six categories in all 50 states: internet access and affordability, hybrid remote work opportunities, cost-of-living, housing expenditure, access to amenities and commuting factors.

This helped the team create an index revealing the best states for hybrid remote workers. 

Utah is easiest state to have hybrid remote job

By the numbers:

The data found that Utah was the easiest state to have a hybrid remote job with an average electricity cost of $0.12 per kWh, a median commute time of 22.5 minutes, and 37.59% of the population working from home at least one day per week.

On top of this, 1.57% of Utah’s jobs on career recruiting company Glassdoor had hybrid-remote opportunities, 15% higher than the national average of 1.32%.

Following Utah were Arizona and Minnesota. 

What they're saying:

"With more companies embracing flexible work models, people are drawn to the freedom hybrid-remote work offers," Asana said in a statement. "By analyzing a mix of economic and technological factors, this data offers a broad view of where in the US hybrid-remote work is most viable. This can help employers and employees make informed decisions about where to live and operate based on their preferred work style."
