WFH Jobs Roundup: Where to Find Remote Work Opportunities

Before COVID-19, 5 million U.S. employees worked from home at least half of the time.

Regardless of whether work from home jobs are here to stay, remote work opportunities are aplenty across iHire’s platform.

If you’re wondering how to find remote jobs, which industries have the most “WFH” openings, and who’s hiring remote workers, check out these data trends* from iHire’s 56 industry-specific talent communities.
