Four Reasons Why Utah is a Great State for Remote Workers

Why should someone who can work from anywhere they can get good internet choose to make their home base in Utah? It’s a fair question to ask. Especially if you’re considering moving far away from your friends and loved ones to get the most out of working from home. Making a move like this can be exciting, challenging, and a little scary. So we wanted to share a few reasons why we at Garbett Homes think, Utah is the right state for you.  



Access to Powerful Internet 
When it comes to the history of computer science, the story is incomplete without Utah. We understand the role that the internet plays in making remote work possible and our broadband infrastructure proves it. High quality internet is readily available throughout the state, ensuring that you will be able to fulfill your job no matter where you choose to call home. 

 

Easily Accessible Outdoor Recreation 
Part of the point of working from home is having more opportunities to ensure that you have time to play when the workday is done. Living in Utah gives you plenty of opportunities and natural playgrounds for you to unwind in. Taking a short post work hike before dinner? In Utah that’s possible. Had a hard week at work and just want to take some time with nature for a weekend? You can be there in less than an hour on a whim. When you choose Utah to be your new home, you choose to give yourself the opportunity to have more chances to play.  
 


Growing Urban Amenities 
Of course, not everyone needs or wants to play in the great outdoors. But when you choose Utah as your new home there will still be plenty to do close to the city. Fans of the performing arts will be spoiled for choice when it comes to symphonies, plays, and concert venues. Including free performances thanks to the many talented people they live among. While sports fans can enjoy cheering on Utah’s many sports teams. And that’s without mentioning the arcades, skate parks, restaurants, and so much more. The Salt Lake Valley is growing, and with that growth comes opportunities for fun after all.  
 
A Strong Job Market 
One of the scariest downsides of remote work comes from the challenges you might experience when you lose your job. Finding another job that allows you to work entirely remotely can be challenging, even if it is a growing way of doing business. That makes it important to live near a strong job market where it’s easier to get back on your feet without having to move again. Fortunately, Utah is home to one of the nation’s strongest job markets. Ensuring that you will not be left floundering and without options should the worst happen. Allowing you to undertake your remote work lifestyle with a greater amount of confidence.
