Proponents of flexible work arrangements say remote workers are more productive because they have no commute, less or no office small talk, fewer distractions, more time for family, a higher quality of life and a better work-life balance. — Photo by Austin Distel on Unsplash
The demand for remote work opportunities has skyrocketed as more businesses adapt to the flexibility of a COVID-19 world, but it has far outstripped the available supply of work-from-home jobs, according to a new report.
The jobs study from Semrush, an online data research firm, shows remote-work searches jumped 300% between July 2021 and July 2022. Specifically, searches for "remote jobs near me," "part-time remote jobs" and "entry-level remote jobs" more than quadrupled in popularity year over year, the company said.
