But in Vermont. Beautiful but no jobs.

Depends on your line of work

I'm an oil man I'd kill it in VT. My wife works remote like a lot of people do nowadays

If you work remotely, Vermont is going to be an issue with internet access. According to the broadband locator, you’ve got mostly satellite or low speed wireless internet there.

We are spoiled in RI that way, which is the most connected state — every single address here has access to at least one high speed broadband provider. It’s one reason I live here.

I wouldn’t trust T-Mobile’s promised speeds, especially in rural Vermont. Their coverage maps are… “optimistic.”

Or at the very least I’d make an offer on the place contingent upon 5G actually working there.

I'm sure it works for 5 minutes at a time. I lived in rural VT we had satellite and it sucked.

Some people are employed there so “no jobs” isn’t quite accurate but yeah, employment is worth setting up before the move.

They don’t have the proximity to a major city that we do with Boston, so there’s no spillover effect that keeps people employed the way we do.
