Hello, I'm a remote worker and The unemployment rate is 2.0%, which is pretty low. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. What are your go-to spots? Public transit needs a lot of work honestly.

I've lived in Oak Park for about 3 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.
the quality of life is solid. When I first moved here from Baltimore, I was surprised by weather. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Lots of new development happening
- Active local events and festivals
- The job market scene is pretty good
The downsides:
- Not very walkable outside downtown
- Chain restaurants dominate
Overall I'd rate it 7/10 for remote workers. Hope this helps!.
