If there’s one good thing that’s come out of the pandemic, it’s the explosion of remote work that’s now available. While some companies are requiring employees to go back to the office full time, others are leaning hard into letting workers keep their flexibility by hiring for remote-only roles.
During the pandemic, the country saw an influx of people relocating, fleeing expensive cities like San Francisco, New York and Los Angelos to areas where home-buying was more affordable. Others jumped at the chance to leave their current neighborhoods to be closer to their families.
'Zoom Towns' Offering Incentives To Attract Remote Workers
Many towns and cities have found ways to reinvigorate their economies by enticing remote workers to move there.
The adoption of remote work encompasses all job titles and career levels. Pre-pandemic, only 6% of American workers were fully remote, according to research by career site Zippia. Now, 26% of employees work remotely, and 66% work remotely at least some of the time. But their research found that only 16% of U.S. companies are fully remote.
For both businesses and employees, remote work can be a big win-win. Companies with a full load of work-from-home employees aren’t paying for office space and utilities, and employees that enjoy the comfort of staying at their homes are happily skipping the commute (and the expenses that come with it).
Zippia reported 85% of managers now believe that teams of remote workers will become the new norm. At least 50% of employers believe remote work reduces absenteeism, and 68% of workers would prefer to be fully remote. The firm predicts 36.2 million Americans will be working remotely by 2025.
To help sift through the thousands of positions out there, FlexJobs, a membership service for jobseekers, recognized the top 100 companies hiring remote jobs in 2023. The company saw a 20% increase in the number of remote job listings on its site — a spike compared to the 12% they saw the previous year.
