A supply-and-demand conundrum
BBC Worklife has received recent global data from Indeed and LinkedIn indicating that the number of remote-job opportunities is frequently outpacing employee demand.
According to Pawel Adrjan, head of research for Europe, Middle East, and Africa (EMEA) at Indeed, “the share of job searches that contain keywords related to remote work has risen even more in most large economies” during the pandemic.
“If we look at the United States as a whole, searches for remote work have increased by 4.5 times as a share of all searches since 2019, while remote job postings have only increased by 3.2 times.”
