Despite the coronavirus pandemic, Flexjobs’ April report shows 35 companies now hiring remote workers.
There are 30 million Americans out of work and filing unemployment claims, but Flexjobs’ April report reveals that despite a drop in overall job postings, “remote job-openings in the technology industry are holding fairly steady amid the economic uncertainty,” said Brie Weiler Reynolds, career development manager and coach at FlexJobs, which updates its remote-job report monthly.
More companies are hiring for remote jobs, either temporarily during the pandemic, or are planning to keep the jobs remote for the long term.
“As more states move to re-open, we may see some shift in the remote job market,” Reynolds said. “But for many of the industries with strong remote hiring–healthcare, computer and IT, education, customer service, and sales–it doesn’t appear they’ll be among the first to return to in-office operations, so this strong remote-job market will likely continue for the foreseeable future.”
Flexjobs’ April report examined the top 35 companies that posted the most work-from-home jobs; 10 of those companies are in the tech world and can present an opportunity for job seekers to explore the range of remote job opportunities at leading tech companies.

“Over the last 10 to 15 years, we’ve seen slow, steady growth in the number of people working from home in the US, but this situation [COVID-19] has dramatically increased the number of people working this way,” Reynolds said. “And we’re already seeing that businesses are planning to keep some portion of their new remote workforces continuing to work remotely even after the crisis is over. In essence, this does look like a kind of tipping point for remote work where a substantial portion of the workforce will work remotely long-term.”
