Annual Data Collection Methodology

Telecommute Jobs Database

Virtual Vocations Job Researchers, Job Quality Specialists, and Quality Assurance Specialists reviewed hundreds of thousands of potential telecommuting jobs. Those that met our standards, which you can learn more about on our FAQ page, were added to the Virtual Vocations job board.

During 2017, Virtual Vocations team members approved and posted 160,654 remote job openings.

Approved telecommute jobs are classified using criteria like the following:

  • Job Category: Our list of more than 40 telecommute job categories includes popular telecommute-friendly industries, such as Graphic Design, Internet and eCommerce, and Medical Coding as well as more surprising fields like Engineering, Nursing, and Training.
  • Telecommute Level:
    • 100% Telecommute: Working remotely all day, every day with no travel (PJs optional.)

    • Occasionally: Working remotely an average of one or two days each week
  • Location: Telecommute job openings can be narrowed by U.S. locations including nationwide, state, region, and time zone.
  • Travel Requirements: From 100% virtual jobs to those that require some on-site requirements or time on the road or in the air, this is where we designate a remote job opening’s travel demands.
  • Education Level: You can elect to browse remote job openings based on your education qualifications including some college experience or a variety of earned degrees.

Telecommute Companies Database

The Telecommute Companies Database is an example of Virtual Vocations’ commitment to improving the ease and efficiency of remote job searches by reducing the time it takes to locate companies who will hire applicants to work from home. This database is a hub where jobseekers can research more than 10,000 1companies by name or industry and discover more about what it is like to telecommute for that employer. Within each profile, jobseekers gain access to the following company information:

  • Main company website link and a business description and/or mission statement
  • Crucial company research details like the company’s headquarters location, industry information, and founded date
  • Resource links to the employer’s Wikipedia page and Better Business Bureau profile
  • Resource links to the employer’s social media profiles on sites like LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube
  • An RSS feed of company news
  • A graph charting the employer’s most recent hiring trends
  • A list of company telecommuting job openings you can apply to via the Virtual Vocations job board

Top States for Remote Work

One of the most common questions we are asked by jobseekers is “Why do telecommute jobs have a location requirement?” While it is easy to assume all remote jobs can be performed from any location, this is not the case.

Virtual Vocations 2017 telecommuting statistics show most remote job postings added to our database included a geographic restriction, like requiring applicants to reside in a particular city, state, region or time zone, versus accepting applicants living in any U.S. location.

Some of the most common reasons why telecommute jobs have a location requirement include the following:

  • State-specific employment laws
  • Tax restrictions
  • Health insurance restrictions
  • Professional certification or licensing requirements
  • Onsite work requirements
  • Time zone differences

For our Virtual Vocations 2017 Year-End Report, we compiled location data for each of the more than 160,000 telecommute jobs added to our job board to determine the top states for remote work. In the graphic below, we highlighted the top five states with the highest number of remote job openings for the year.

 

Remote job postings with location requirements for California, Texas, New York, and Florida comprised 23.26% of all job postings in the Virtual Vocations database for 2017.

The infographic above illustrates the wide reach of available telecommuting positions. To further showcase the scope of opportunities to telecommute throughout the United States, we highlighted the top 20 states for remote work and categorized them into regions.
