Many companies have given their employees the green light to work from home permanently. And that has a lot of workers thinking about living somewhere else.
But don't start packing your bags just yet.
Just because you can work from home, doesn't mean you can live anywhere.
Moving to another state or region can affect your job, pay, benefits and taxes, reports CNN Business' Jeanne Sahadi.
If your company doesn't already have workers or an office in the location you want to move to, that could create more administrative and tax burdens for the company.
Relocating to a city with a lower cost of living -- and where labor is less expensive -- can also result in a smaller paycheck.
Taxes could also become a nightmare -- especially if you live in one of the seven states that has "a convenience of the employer" rule. That means you could owe income taxes where your company office is located and also your home state.
Head spinning? Here's what you need to know.
Thousands of airline workers could be furloughed this week if Congress doesn't pass additional aid for the industry.
The stimulus package that Congress passed in March provided up to $50 billion to the US airline industry under the terms airlines could not lay off or involuntarily furlough staff until October 1.
But as the pandemic rages on and air travel remains slow, the airlines are still struggling.
According to an analysis by CNN's Pete Muntean, nearly 50,000 airline workers, including mechanics, gate agents, pilots and flight attendants, are at risk of being furloughed once the deadline hits.
When it comes to that work-from-home life, we can all use a little help making it work. This week's tips come from Deborah Caton in Birch Run, Michigan:
The stress of the pandemic and its economic fallout can have a major impact on our mental health and work performance.
But how much can you really talk about it with your boss?
"Be careful about how much you disclose. Once you have said something, you can't take it back," Liza Gold, a psychiatrist and clinical professor of psychiatry at Georgetown University, told me.
The key to these conversations is to be proactive (don't wait until there's a major performance problem) and come prepared with solutions for how to make the situation better.

Hiring season!
The weather is just starting to cool off, and retailers are already looking to hire for the holidays.
But don't expect this to be a normal shopping season. Thanks to the pandemic, there likely won't be the usual deal-seeking crowds lining up outside stores at the crack of dawn or pushing through crowded aisles.
Instead, retailers are preparing for a surge of online and curbside pickup orders, reports my CNN Business colleague Nathaniel Meyersohn. And they're going to need to staff up.
Walmart, for example, plans to hire more than 20,000 seasonal workers in e-commerce fulfillment centers across the US. The mega-retailer has been on a hiring spree, adding more than 500,000 workers since March.
Here are some other companies hiring for the holidays:

You've heard this line before: If you love what you do, you'll never work a day in your life.
Unfortunately, that's hardly the reality for many workers. But it doesn't have to be that way.
For CNN Business' Perspectives, former CEO of Volvo Pehr Gyllenhammar outlined three ways companies can show employees that their well-being is a priority.

Working from home means we miss out on those mini breaks that naturally occurred in the office.
But you can now add self-care reminders to your schedule using Google's Assistant. The new workday routine can automatically remind you to build some breaks into your schedule, like: staying hydrated, going for a quick walk or when it's time to shut down your computer at the end of the workday.
