Most work-from-home jobs require workers to reside in a specific geographic
location. Here are the states with the most remote jobs.


TOP 15 STATES WITH THE MOST REMOTE JOBS

By Brie Weiler Reynolds
8 Shares






Before the COVID-19 crisis, 4.9% of the U.S. workforce worked from home
full-time. Now, many people are still working from home, and many companies are
switching to remote work indefinitely.

According to a recent survey, more than three-quarters of office workers who’ve
been working remotely say they would prefer to work from home more often, even
after the pandemic.

Does it matter where you’re working from if you work from home, though? Many
people think having an online job will allow them to work from anywhere they
choose. But the truth is that the vast majority of remote jobs require workers
to reside in a specific geographic location.


WHY DO REMOTE JOBS REQUIRE A LOCATION?

Close to 95% of remote jobs have location or geographic requirements, such as a
city, state, region of a country, or country. That means that only 5% of remote,
work-from-home positions are truly work-from-anywhere jobs, and that’s really
important for job seekers to know if they want to land a remote job.

The most common reasons employers need their remote workers based in a specific
area include legal, taxation, professional licensing, training, and regular
in-person meetings.

So, if remote positions usually have location requirements, where are the most
remote jobs? The following 15 states have had the highest number of remote job
listings in the last year and a half, since January 1, 2019. The state’s current
remote worker population, according to the U.S. Census Bureau, is also noted
along with the top three cities with the most remote workers, and
remote-friendly companies across the state.

REMOTE WORK TRENDS

Commute stress is routinely cited as one of the primary reasons workers seek
remote jobs. And, 60% of employees working from home during the pandemic say
their work-life balance has improved because they’re no longer commuting to the
office. With the average daily commute at 27.1 minutes one way, employees who
work remotely half-time (about two to three days per week) stand to gain back 11
days a year just from not commuting as much!

Due to the fact that COVID-19 forced many companies to implement remote work on
the fly, employees who otherwise wouldn’t be working virtually now are. In fact,
a recent survey conducted by IBM found that 54% of employees would prefer to
primarily work remotely.

And Zillow reports that more than half of homebuyers who work remotely say
remote work influenced a major home change. For instance, remote work means that
you don’t necessarily have to live in the same city as your employer, and aren’t
forced to live in a larger (and more expensive) metropolitan area.

Furthermore, several cities and states now offer incentives for remote employees
to move to their location. Oklahoma, Vermont, Alabama, and Colorado are some
states that currently have remote worker incentive programs.


FIND A REMOTE JOB BY LOCATION

What if your state isn’t on this list? Here’s how to find remote jobs that let
you work from wherever you’re located.

From the FlexJobs “Advanced Job Search” page, enter your location, either in the
“U.S. Location” section or by choosing your country from the “International”
section. Then select your remote work level and click the “Search for Jobs”
button to see current listings that fit your criteria!

 



 

If you want a work-from-anywhere job (with no location requirements), use the
“International” section to select “Anywhere,” which will return only job
listings that can be done from anywhere around the world.

 



 

You can also search for remote jobs by location to choose your location either
inside or outside the U.S. Clicking any of those options will bring you to a
list of the current flexible and remote job listings for that particular
location.

FlexJobs’ U.S. Remote Job Market Map also offers additional important
state-specific remote work statistics for every state, such as the most popular
remote career categories, the state’s average commute time, and state-specific
flexible work policies.
