The secret of Austin has been exposed in the last two decades. A pleasant city that stood many years in the shadow of its Texan neighbors, Austin now holds its own on the international stage of best places to live, work – and remote-work.<\/span><\/p>\n

Austin\u2019s talent: the Big Draw for Big Tech<\/b><\/p>\n

Back in the 2000s, technology companies were scanning the country for new talent hotspots that came with a lower cost of doing business. Enter from the wings Austin, Texas, a city with a cosmopolitan, educated, and diverse population that enjoyed a great outdoor lifestyle, live music scene, and overall high standard of living.<\/span><\/p>\n

That talent pool not only represented one of the most<\/span> educated in the country with 46.6% of adults<\/span><\/a> having at least a bachelor’s degree versus 32.6% national average but also the youngest, with a median age over four years younger than that of the rest of the nation. It was a major draw for technology companies looking for an able, eager workforce that would help them to grow and evolve.<\/span><\/p>\n

Big Tech soon moved in: Apple, Facebook, IBM, Dell, GM, eBay, Whole Foods, Home Depot, and Indeed all established corporate or regional headquarters in the city. The latest tech giant preparing to move is <\/span>Oracle who announced plans<\/span><\/a> in December 2020 to relocate its corporate headquarters to Austin.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The <\/span>growth is not only tech-related<\/span><\/a>. Engineering, banking, medical, real estate, security, marketing, aerospace, and insurance companies are all thriving in Austin, and form part of the equation that makes Austin the third fastest-growing city in the nation: in 2015, Austin’s population <\/span>surpassed 2.0 million<\/span><\/a>, and the decade ending 2018 saw a 32.7% increase in population.<\/span><\/p>\n

Startups in particular have boomed in Austin. With the <\/span>third highest rate of startups in US metros<\/span><\/a> in 2018, Austin added nearly 4,000 startups and over 21,000 jobs to their local economy; a 16.5% share of all new jobs created that year.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Austin: Best City in the World for Remote Working<\/b><\/p>\n

Even before recent events, Austin companies pioneered remote working as the demand for offices outran availability. In 2020, Austin was crowned the <\/span>best city in the world for remote workers<\/b><\/a> by Globetrender based on employment, living conditions, and leisure activities. Austin\u2019s only negative scores came from the lack of co-working spaces and a higher cost of monthly rent. Demand for housing is being addressed in a construction boom of new apartments, but more co-working space is still needed.<\/span><\/p>\n
