According to a 2017 telecommuting report
by FlexJobs, the number of US employees who "worked from home at least
half of the time" grew 115% in twelve years, from 1.8 million employees
in 2005 to 3.9 million in 2017.
Employees are looking
to work for companies with missions that reinforce their values, and
"flexible schedules and work-from-home options" are increasingly a high
priority for millennial employees in comparison to previous generations,
according to Gallup.
As a result, organizations are having to shift how they manage and optimize performance, and remote jobs are expanding into a variety of unusual career fields that haven't seen this kind of work in the past.
According to FlexJobs, here are 10 career fields that you might not typically associate with working from home, but that saw remote job
listings grow more than 50% from January 1, 2018 to December 1, 2018.
FlexJobs defines a "remote job" as any profession that "allows the
worker to work from home either entirely or part of the time." The
fields are ranked from least growth to highest.
