"Seventy-five percent of rural, midcareer workers seek training that remote work opportunities would require, according to a new report by Generation and YouGov."
"The report reveals that not only are rural Americans highly motivated to work, but they are also overwhelmingly open to reskilling for remote roles."
"A Motivated, Rural Talent Pool: The survey reveals that although 71% of respondents had not participated in formal job training in the past three years, 50% expressed interest in learning new skills."
"Even as rural workers show a strong willingness to train, employers continue to reduce remote opportunities, dropping job postings mentioning hybrid or remote work to 7.5%."
A report indicates that 75% of rural workers aged 45 and older are seeking training required for remote work opportunities. This group shows a high motivation to adapt to new job requirements. Despite financial challenges and a lack of recent formal training, 50% are eager to learn new skills, with a preference for on-the-job training. However, the availability of remote positions is dwindling. Employers issuing return-to-office mandates contribute to this issue, with remote job postings decreasing significantly, which disproportionately affects rural job seekers facing financial difficulties.
