The FlexJobs Podcast: Career Advice & Job Search Tips

Even before COVID-19, working from home was becoming increasingly common. In 2018, 3.6% of U.S. workers worked remotely half time or more, and remote work as a whole had grown more than 159% since 2005.

During the pandemic, though, a whopping 51% of employed Americans transitioned to working from home. And now, more people are working remotely than ever before.

Despite the growth of remote work, the coronavirus has taken a considerable toll on the job market. With millions of Americans unemployed and the future of unemployment benefits uncertain, many out-of-work job seekers are looking for remote jobs that can weather the storm during challenging times.

To help job seekers better understand the remote job market, FlexJobs has identified the 20 most common work-from-home job titles based on an analysis of our jobs database.
