If you have a computer and a phone, you’re
in business.
As a travel advisor, that is.
A new
analysis examines the latest U.S. Census Bureau current population
survey and breaks down the findings as they pertain to the U.S. remote and
hybrid workforce.
Ranking high in the top 20 are travel advisors. The analysis
revealed occupations with the highest share of partially or fully remote
workers this year. Travel advisors ranked seventh with 73.9 percent
working remotely at least some of the tine.
The industry lends itself to working remotely, as long as you have
the right equipment. And the diligence. And a good working environment.
Among occupations, insurance underwriters, compensation specialists and writers are most likely to be remote. Writing is a good
choice, except when the Wi-Fi connection is slow. But the pandemic brought
about a new era in how people go to work. Including attending meetings.
The survey found that women are more likely than men to work
remotely and parents are more likely to stay at home and work than non-parents
are.
Remote work popularity rises with income as those making $150,000-plus a year are twice as likely to be remote than those making $75,000 to $99,000.
