An analysis from online retailer Filterbuy.com placed the San Antonio-New Braunfels metro 53rd among large urban centers in being ready to work from home. Rally-Cary, N.C., a university town with a major research sector, ranked at the top of the list. Part of the problem is that just 28.7% of San Antonio-area workers have remote-friendly jobs, below the national average of 30.7%. Chalk that one up to our economy s heavy reliance on service-sector and hospitality jobs.
