Summary of 2020 Remote Jobs Statistics<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In 2015, Virtual Vocations began researching and aggregating remote work and virtual employment statistics into annual reports outlining key facts, trends, and insights into the state of remote work. During 2019, Virtual Vocations shattered expectations by logging 197% growth in the number of remote job postings added to the Virtual Vocations board<\/strong><\/a> from 2015 to 2019, but the surge in available remote jobs throughout 2020 exceeded even this unprecedented job growth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Virtual Vocations has been a leading remote job board since 2007. In our company’s history, 2020 was the most successful year for remote job board growth. For the first time, more than 50,000 remote job openings were added to the job board in a single month. Better still, this record continued for three consecutive months with more than 160,000 remote job openings added to the Virtual Vocations database during the fourth quarter of 2020 alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overall, more than 460,000 remote job openings were added to the Virtual Vocations job board in 2020, equaling a 53% increase in the number of remote jobs added to Virtual Vocations’ database from 2019 to 2020, and an impressive 355% increase from 2015 to 2020.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
