Read slide 14 of the PayScale survey results on remote work and choose an industry from the list of results. You may not choose Other for this discussion.

1. Describe why or why not you would value a job performed remotely in that industry the same as the value of the job performed in person. Use common KSAs (Links to an external site.) expected for that industry to rationalize your answer.

2. Then, make a recommendation if the remote version of the job and the in-person version should be paid the same or different?

Manufacturing and healthcare also less frequently view remote work as equally valuable to in-office work, likely due to these industries requiring on-site work and in-person interaction.
