The stats

Curios minds could wonder, when reading news about "more companies mandating 'return to work' policies", if this is a generalized trend. While it is true that some very well-known companies are mandating this policy, things are more nuanced and we can help to shine more light on the topic, based on our extensive global remote jobs dataset. So, let's get started with relevant job market stats for remote jobs, extracted from our remote jobs listings data available online at workbeyond.io.
