SBA executives ‘beyond doubt’ that teleworking employees are more productive

Reading this makes me happy. I almost read this as the door is open for more people to apply and work remote. That to me means someone who would have never considered working for SBA or moving to work there, can now be employed from anywhere there is internet.

Maybe this is how we revitalize towns that were wiped out by outsourcing the labor pool (read China manufacturing)?

If nobody ever needs to be in an office it would seem like there is more temptation to hire outside the US for these jobs too.

That's true in general, but probably untenable for SBA jobs specifically (just from the optics of it).

I assumed we were thinking more generally if it was a strategy to revitalize flagging towns.
