Bay Area city ranked among top for freelancers and self-employed workers in 2023

Published Mon, 11 Nov 2024 03:41:48 GMT

(NerdWallet) - Though some workers have returned to offices, remote work has been normalized for others over the last three years. And some now have more autonomy to choose where they live.For freelancers in particular, it’s becoming more common for workers to settle in a city they like and then seek contracts with companies anywhere, says Keith Hall, president and CEO of the National Association for the Self-Employed.“I don't remember a time that I have heard more comments from self-employed people that they are looking to where they live based on their quality of life,” Hall says. “They pick a place to live for their quality of life, and then manage the business around that. I think that is a significant change from 15 years ago,” when the priorities were reversed.“That’s a fundamental shift that I think, long-term, is positive,” Hall adds.Here’s the 2023 list of the 10 best U.S. cities for freelancers and self-employed workers.
