The pandemic created a tempting opportunity for many urban workers who found themselves working from home: to move somewhere cheaper and take their big city salaries with them. There were hopes this could rebalance our economies too, by allowing good jobs to spread out of expensive and overcrowded cities into areas that could use the boost. But as employers begin to adjust their policies to a post-pandemic world, there is a possibility the dream will evaporate. If you move to cut your living expenses, your employer might cut your pay.
新冠疫情為許多在家辦公的城市員工創造了一個誘人的機會:領著大城市的薪水搬去更便宜的地方住。也有人希望這能重新平衡我們的經濟,讓好的工作機會從昂貴擁擠的城市擴散到需要經濟刺激的地區。但隨著雇主調整政策適應疫情后的世界,這一夢想有可能破滅。如果你通過搬家來削減生活開支,你的雇主可能會降低你的工資。
