Utah ranked #2 best state for remote work - Here's why that matters | |
A new WalletHub study ranks Utah as the #2 best state for working from home, thanks to low electricity costs, affordable internet, and spacious homes.
| |
This ranking matters, as more professionals choose where to live based on cost, lifestyle, and connectivity, Utah offers a winning combination. Remote work means better access to high-paying jobs, fewer commutes, and stronger rural communities—and Utah is making it happen.
| |
With 16% of Utah’s workforce already remote—and projections showing that number could rise dramatically—the state is poised for long-term success in the remote economy.
| |
The USU Extension Rural Online Initiative is proud to be part of the momentum, helping more Utahns thrive in remote careers.
