Pandemic pushes search for remote jobs up 460%

Interest in working remotely has surged during the Covid-19 pandemic and is lingering even as the economy reopens, a new study suggests. The share of online job searches for remote positions jumped 460% in the two years between June 2019 and June 2021, according to an analysis published by job site Glassdoor. That bump isn’t siloed in a handful of occupations, but is widespread across a host of different jobs.
