What do parents need from a remote job? Has the COVID-19 pandemic influenced how parents view remote work and general job security? Which remote job industries are most sought after by parents? The data is in, and we have answers to these questions and more in our Parent Remote Job Search Survey Results report for 2021.<\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As part of our sixth annual National Work and Family Month celebration<\/a>, Virtual Vocations surveyed more than 250 parents<\/strong> interested in new remote job options. We wanted to learn more about what parents want from their job searches and, ultimately, their work-at-home careers.<\/p>\n\n\n

CEO’s Statement on the 2021 Parent Survey<\/strong><\/p>

“As a parent who has worked remotely since my children were young, the value of schedule flexibility and autonomy over my work hours has been key in my success as both a mother and a professional.

Parents who have recently experienced the benefits that remote work offers them and their children, in large part due to COVID-19 restrictions, are now considering how to make the best of both work and parenting responsibilities on a long-term basis through continued remote work. This shift should be welcome to employers who support mental health and employees’ personal values as crucial aspects of retaining top talent and a thriving workforce.

Working from home throughout my children’s formative years allowed me to be there when they needed me, not just when I was available, and there is a big difference between the two. In today’s tech-driven world, parents should not have to choose between supporting their children versus keeping their jobs<\/strong>, especially when it has been proven time and again that they can accomplish their work and maintain high career productivity levels at the same time.”
