Remote Work Opportunities In America

Remote work is the new normal. The COVID-19 pandemic has changed the corporate world’s perspective on remote workers and working from home. Traditionally all white-collar jobs were expected to be done from the office, in a common workspace, with work from home being an anomaly. Employees who wanted more flexibility with the location or timings of the company were either given the same after a pay cut or were transitioned into contract-based employments. 

But since March of 2020 a major chunk of the workforce had to work from home and only those who fell under the category of ‘essential services’ were seen in actual offices. 

Since then, a huge number of remote workers have expressed a desire to continue as remote workers. According to a widespread survey by Gallup of employees in different sectors of the U.S workforce, 91% want to retain the ability to work remotely in varying forms and types and only 9% have mentioned that they would like to return to the office full-time. 

This means that even with the wave of mass hiring that is seen across America, companies will have to be open to providing remote work opportunities. Check out our earlier blog about which sectors in the USA are mass hiring in 2022 (insert link to earlier blog).
