U.S. job listings that tout working remotely as a perk have more than doubled in the past year, signaling that top companies will keep using the benefit to woo employees even as the pandemic winds down, according to job-search site Indeed.
As of February 2021, 6.9% of Indeed job postings cited remote work as an option, compared with 2.9% in January 2020. The term was increasingly used for jobs in higher-paying industries such as technology, finance and law. Less than 10% of people with a high school degree worked from home in February, while 49% of graduate-degree holders did.
