The 20 Best Work from Anywhere Jobs This Year
“Our ‘100% Remote Jobs’ Survey proved that U.S. workers do not want to return to the office,” according to Virtual Vocations CEO and co-founder Laura Spawn. She continued, “The pandemic has helped professionals prioritize their personal values. They want to save time and money by not commuting, and they want to be more productive while working from home—an environment more than half of U.S. workers describe as being better for their personal health and well-being.”
“This top 20 list of work from anywhere jobs is a key resource for anyone searching for professional flexibility this year and beyond,” Spawn added. “It’s important for us, as a 100% virtual business that not only connects millions of remote jobseekers to quality, human-screened job postings but also tracks remote work data and trends, to provide workers with quality resources for their remote job searches. The 20 fully remote jobs outlined in our report will allow workers the ease of working from any location that suits their lifestyle. These jobs are also good-paying positions that average more than $68,000 per year in annual salary—a full $10,000 higher than the national average U.S. nonfarm wages for July 2022.”
