Reply to comment by projecthouse in Rather than heralding a new era of prosperity for rural and remote regions, remote working, inspired by the pandemic, is exacerbating the global urban-rural divide in the digital platform labour market by giuliomagnifico
Exactly. Those white collar workers will inevitably create change in their new areas by spending their money there, creating demand for things like high-speed internet, and voting in local elections. All of that takes time though.

The article basically reads like, "Hey Google, why didn't you hire a bunch farmers to work remotely for you as app designers." ...
And I probably shouldn't reject their idea of apprentices off hand, I have no idea how that would be implemented. It's a nice idea, but don't think I've ever seen a white collar apprenticeship program period, let alone a remote one.
