A new regimen of working life outside of a traditional office environment has gained popularity amid the pandemic, giving rise to the digital nomad trend that lets people blend work and travel with greater flexibility.
The "2021 State of Independence" report conducted by MBO Partners found the number of digital nomads in the US grew by 42% year-on-year to 15.5 million, up 112% from 7.3 million recorded prior to the onset of the pandemic in 2019.
