Remote work has exploded globally, driven by the desire for world-class operators to have more control over their lives. People don’t want to waste 10 hours of their week sat in a pollution emitting coffin wasting their life away commuting to work, they want to live where they want and have a far higher quality of life than regular office working allows.

For that reason, the 7m remote workers in the EU + USA has grown to over 20m workers today and will continue to rise to over 33m by 2025. The future of work is already here, it’s just not very evenly distributed yet.

Led by the companies below, any of the 255m workers operating at desks globally will have a choice: continue to work in an expensive city having your cost of living subsidized by your employer or become a remote worker and work in your life rather than living to work.

The benefit for companies is equally appealing. Remote workers reduce the cost of provisioning a worker by 80% every single month. By redistributing office space to workers homes, companies free up a huge volume of capital expense by cutting back costs. More efficient companies will emerge that will be able to access the ‘human-knowledge-work-cloud’ (h/t sam lessin) scaling their team up and down as required by their workload.
