Expert opinions on the best states for accounts receivable clerks
Are there any particularly good places in the United States for Accounts Receivable Clerks to find work opportunities?
Curtis Nicholls Ph.D.

This is a tough question to predict. The pandemic has created more flexibility than ever, and we see workers exiting high price areas such as San Francisco and New York City. However, I'm uncertain how this will shake out in the post-pandemic world. There could be a demand for a return to occasional in person meetings, so employees may need to remain within reasonable proximity. However, employees could employ shared economy models such as Airbnb to meet the demand for temporary visits to the office.
