Office For Remote Workers To Open In Ocean City

OCEAN CITY, NJ — People who work remotely will soon have a workspace in Ocean City. DriftSpaces will provide a collaborative environment for remote and independent workers.

The business is set to open March 6 on the second floor of 956 Asbury Ave. The name comes from the fact that the business allows members to drift in and out.

One work DriftSpaces frequently uses is "coworking," which means the use of a work environment by people who are self-employed or working for different employers.

The business accommodates the growing number of people who work remotely. Nationally, 3.9 million people worked remotely in 2015. That figure is now 4.7 million, according to flexjobs.com.

Space is limited. DriftSpaces will only take in 10 people for the first three months. But anyone interested can arrange for a tour.

DriftSpaces offers several different types of memberships, from daily to unlimited use. Click here for more information.
