Future of Work

The resources below provide additional insight into this important topic.

"We expect work-from-home and hybrid-work will continue to impact the public finance landscape. In some places, the impacts will shift economic activity, and lower sales and income taxes, making some sectors that are more dependent on those revenue streams more susceptible to potential financial strain. This is a once-in-a-generation shift that will likely play out more quickly and in select locations versus others, but will play out whether or not leaders acknowledge or like the trend."
