Top 10 Companies with Remote Job Opportunities

Remote jobs have been around for quite some time, but the pandemic has forced many businesses to go remote and come up with all sorts of work-from-home programs to comply with COVID-19 social-distancing measures, whether they wanted it or not. According to Gallup, 62% of employed Americans have worked from home during the coronavirus outbreak, with remote-work or flex-time options increasing from 39% in mid-March to 57% in early April.

Employees like it and, surprisingly, managers are on the same page. “Nearly 1 in 5 chief financial officers surveyed say they plan to keep at least 20% of their workforce working remotely,” revealed Brie Reynolds of the remote-work search site FlexJobs. “Remote work is being transformed for the long term.”
