New Survey Finds Remote and Hybrid Jobs Remain in High Demand Among Job Seekers

Data from several polls conducted by FlexJobs, a job site for flexible work, found that a staggering 97% of job seekers want a totally remote or hybrid role.  

What’s more, 84% of participants believe that remote or flexible work would increase their overall happiness.

FlexJobs also found that 48% of employers are planning to maintain some form of remote work moving forward into the new year—a strategy likely designed to both attract and retain top talent.

In a post-pandemic world, employers across the nation believe that embracing workforce flexibility can cut down on unnecessary spend in turnover, as well increase worker productivity.
