5 spots for remote work in DeSoto County

Over the last few years, a notable change has taken place in the American job market  – the rise of remote work. According to Pew Research Center, more than 22 million workers have traded their cubicles for couches and suits for slippers. 

Remote work has a ton of benefits, with one of the most profound being the ability to choose your work environment.

Here are five great locations in DeSoto County, Mississippi, to do just that.
