UK’s remote work jobs up 48% y-o-y
Remote work opportunities in the United Kingdom grew by 48% year-on-year in September, according to data from job search engine Adzuna.
“As the cost of living crisis deepens, hiring has cooled slightly since April,” Adzuna stated.
“Hence, the upward streak was halted between May and September. That said, the number and proportion of ‘work from anywhere’ job vacancies within the period remained higher than in 2021, signifying the trend is here to stay,” the firm added.
While Adzuna noted an annual increase in September, there was a cool down in remote job vacancies when compared to April 2022. When compared to August 2022, remote jobs were down 23.1%.
When it comes to the top “work from anywhere” sectors in September 2022, IT ranked at the top with 480 job vacancies.
Adzuna Chief Customer Officer Paul Lewis explained, “The rise of ‘work from anywhere’ is a response to shifting priorities and the demand for more.”
