NEW YORK (PRWEB) December 15, 2022 - Remote work options remain popular despite companies current attempts to have employees return to the office. According to Ladders data, by Q4 of 2021, three million additional jobs had transitioned to permanently remote status, with 18 percent of all professional jobs across the US and Canada hiring remote. At the end of 2021, Ladders predicted a rise to 25 percent by Q4 2022; by the close of Q3, that number had risen to 36 percent.
