Working from home is best in these cities: Report

The coronavirus pandemic made working from home routine for many people, but once life returns to normal, some cities might have more opportunities to continue to work remotely.

On Thursday, SmartAsset released its third annual report on the best U.S. cities to work from home.

The personal finance technology company analyzed the top 100 largest cities in the U.S. and ranked them based on seven measurements.
