As the nature of work changes, the environments and locations where employees and employers accomplish their job tasks are also evolving.  Rather than gathering in one central location, like an office or plant, many workers are now able to complete the requirements of their jobs from wherever they have an internet connection.  An upward and ongoing trend is occurring in the number of people who are working remotely.  According to an analysis by Flexjobs and Global Workplace Analytics, there has been a 159% increase in remote work over the last 12 years; and as of 2020, 4.7 million U.S. workers were working remotely.
