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.
But despite the demand, the median share of remote positions available on job-search websites is only 6.8%, Semrush said.
The first to go?

Sixty percent of the 3,000 workplace managers polled by the website beautiful.ai say remote workers will be the first to go if downsizing becomes necessary as a result of inflationary challenges.
