InMyArea.com recently named Dalton the 5th best medium-sized city for remote work in the country, and the best city for remote work in the state of Georgia! The...y compared data from four areas to create their rankings: percentage of a city's residents with access to high-speed wired internet, percentage of a city's residents with access to affordable basic wired broadband internet, monthly rent costs, and housing cost per square meter. To see the rest of the list and read more about their methodology, see the full article: https://www.inmyarea.com/mo/best-states-cities-remote-work Many people in our community have transitioned to working remotely, like Shaw Industries associate Nicki Rayburn. I feel so fortunate to work for an amazing company that has done everything in its power to ensure safe working conditions for all associates. For those who typically work out of an office like me, that means working from home in many cases these days. Working from home at first was definitely an adjustment I had to convert a playroom to an office to have a dedicated work space but now I consider it the new way of doing things. Throughout this entire adjustment period to the new normal I have never been more grateful to live and work in Dalton. While so many are fleeing large cities, we all get the benefit of living, working, shopping, etc in a safe, tight-knit community. I am so proud to live in this town and am not at all surprised to see Dalton on this list. #believegreaterdalton #communitypride #workfromhome #remotework #workforcedevelopment
