The Disappearance Of Remote Jobs

The popularity of remote work has been declining since its peak in 2022. According to Axios, citing data from Indeed, job postings offering remote or hybrid options reached a high of over 10% in May 2022. However, by the end of July 2024, this figure had fallen to 7.6%, indicating a significant reduction in remote work opportunities.


This trend is exemplified by Amazon's recent mandate for employees to return to the office full-time, a move that could potentially trigger a domino effect across industries. Given Big Tech's influential role in shaping workplace norms, this pivot away from remote work may signal a broader return to traditional office-based employment, marking a notable reversal of the work-from-home revolution sparked by the pandemic.
