Remote working exploded during the pandemic, and some companies say they don't plan on going back to the office after it's over. Today we talk about big changes to the workplace, working from home, and unemployment.
We also learn about remote work incentive programs, where communities pay people to move there to work a remote job. And we talk about the common refrain from some business owners that unemployment checks are keeping potential new workers away.
