"Increased remote work makes their labor market ripe for disruption." In an op-ed this week, the team at SurveyMonkey took a look at the new realities of Silicon Valley's workforce. The verdict: a possible brain drain from other industries, a consolidation of talent, and salary decreases.
In the latest CNBC|SurveyMonkey Workforce Survey, about half of all people in the workforce indicate they've been able to do their jobs remotely in recent weeks. And, no surprise, many workers say they want to keep doing just that. This leads to the possibility that tech workers will be hired not just in Silicon Valley (and other major tech hubs), and the pool of available job candidates would get a whole lot bigger for an industry where competition for talent is already fierce. This could set off a chain of events that could disrupt the disruptors. More on that here.
Another shift in the disruptor landscape: co-working space operators. Last week we spoke about the future of real estate. We've watched companies like WeWork disrupt the commercial market in recent years, but Covid now poses a real threat to both the WeWorks of the world, and the traditional real estate operators. Our real estate team takes a closer look at the future of office spaces.
