Many job seekers are willing to take a pay cut to work remotely
SANTA MONICA, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–ZipRecruiter®, a leading online employment marketplace, today released a new report, Remote Work: A Win-Win-Win for Employees, Employers, and the Economy, which finds that nearly two out of three job seekers today prefer remote work over hybrid and on-site opportunities. Job seekers have become increasingly enthusiastic about remote work after first experiencing it during the early days of the pandemic—so much so that many would consider a pay cut for the opportunity to work at home.
“The pandemic has radically changed our country’s views on remote work and accelerated its adoption by fifty years. Remote work has now finally taken root and it offers an array of benefits for employees, businesses, and our overall economy,” said Ian Siegel, CEO of ZipRecruiter. “In those industries where remote work is feasible, its adoption continues to expand. Businesses should take this opportunity to lean into unprecedented access to nationwide talent.”
Key insights from the report include:
“Job numbers have been a bright spot in the economy over the past several months with expanding remote work opportunities opening the map for both businesses and workers. We see remote work becoming a staple in key industries where it still has huge potential,” said Julia Pollak, Chief Economist at ZipRecruiter. “On a national scale, remote work is mitigating inflation and helping the U.S. avoid a wage-price spiral because so many workers are happily forgoing faster wage growth to save time and money by working remotely.”
