Is it harder to get hired for remote jobs?
A 2024 survey by FlexJobs found that 62% of professionals prefer remote work, and 35% would take a pay cut to keep it. With so many candidates vying for the same positions, employers can be highly selective. Getting hired for a remote job isn’t the same as landing a traditional office role. Remote work is wise for the budget-conscious. Full-time remote workers save over $4,000 each year[*] They also earn $4,000 more, on average[*] And 75% of employees working remotely make at least $65,000 per year, putting them in the upper 80th percentile of all employees, home or office-based[*].
