Later this week, the Joplin Area Chamber of Commerce will hold an event highlighting Remote Workers. KRPS’s Fred Fletcher-Fierro has more.
On the heels of a report by the Wall Street Journal last month that ranked Joplin second in the country to work remotely, the Joplin Area Chamber of Commerce will host an all-day event Wednesday specifically focused on that workforce.
The event, called Where We Working Wednesday, will celebrate and bring together remote workers and highlight remote work resources in the Joplin area.
The event will include an open house at the Joseph Newman Innovation Center (NIC), which offers month-to-month office rentals and coworking spaces.
On Wednesday, the Invocation Center will be open from 8:00 am to 8:00 pm.
During this time, the public is invited to tour the building and take advantage of complimentary Day Passes to experience the coworking spaces and their accompanying amenities for free.
That same report from the Wall Street Journal named Springfield the best place to work remotely in the US, while St. Louis was ranked 18th. For 89 9 KRPS News, I’m Fred Fletcher-Fierro
