3. The Digital Nomad Life:
Combining Work and Travel
“Travel has changed”
“Everyone wants to be a temporary
local.”

4. We can attributed the increase in the
number of remote workers to
improved technology, a changing job
market and inexpensive flights.
The two main groups fueling it are
millennials interested in taking time
off from traditional work and aging
baby boomers who have financial
resources and flexibility.

5. A new study, Future Workforce,
released in February by Upwork, a
marketplace for online work, surveyed
more than 1,000 hiring managers in
the United States.
It found that only one in 10 believed
location was important to a new hire’s
success; nearly two-thirds said they
had at least some workers who did a
significant portion of their work from a
remote location, and about half agreed
that they had trouble finding the talent
they needed locally.
