Today, workers have the opportunity to
work
 remotely due to advances in Information Technology and transportation.
This
 essay will argue that the advantages of
this
 outweigh the drawbacks. It will be
first
 demonstrated that people, in general, feel better when they can
work
 more comfortably and that
this
 ability can reduce costs for both employer and employee, followed by an analysis of how the primary disadvantage, namely unemployment by job transfer, is not valid. A great part of
work
 today can be carried out anywhere on earth as long as there is a stable Internet connection.
That is
 to say that people can improve their
work
 just by staying in places where they can concentrate better. A recent study carried out by the research company Gartner revealed that companies prefer to keep their employees working from home and close to their family. Working out of the office
also
 helps to reduce costs. When a person works from home, he or she can wear inexpensive and more comfortable clothes. During the COVID-19 pandemic that has been plaguing the world,
for instance
, the costs related to food, clothing, and transportation for workers decreased dramatically. Some authorities contend that remote
work
 hurts the economy. Part of the
work
 that could be done domestically
is transferred
Suggestion
transfers
 to other countries with lower salaries.
For instance
, many call-

 services from countries
such
 as the United States were moved to India, where spoken English is adequate and salaries are just a fraction of what they would be in the original country. On balance, the development of modern communication and transportation technologies led to better
work
 conditions and significant cost reductions.
This
 vastly outweighs the weak argument of increased unemployment due to the transfer of jobs.
