Remote work search surge by 183%

Job seekers show more interest in working from home amidst social distancing measures.

Searches for remote work have increased by 183% this month compared to its January and February average, according to data from Indeed, as job seekers across the country show greater interest in working remotely amidst the COVID-19 crisis.

Job seekers are increasingly searching for terms like ‘remote’, ‘work from home’ and related phrases.

“Jobs that can be performed remotely appear more resistant to economic disruption, at least in the case of a pandemic, which may make these jobs more appealing to future job seekers,” said Callam Pickering, APAC Economist at Indeed.

Jobseekers searching for remote work have driven sharp MoM increases in specific searches for specific job titles, with content writer and telemarketer topping the list, followed by administrative support, business facilitation, and content production roles.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers.
