Remote work is becoming a standard practice in most fields and has created a new generation of telecommuters who are no longer the exception to the rule, they are the rule. In the past two decades, the number of telecommuters has risen by 115%, according to a report by FlexJobs. Millennials are beginning to choose flexible jobs over salary.
Industries that were previously thought to only exist as in-person roles like nursing, personal assistants, and teaching, have joined the virtual revolution using remote technology to connect people around the world. If you're looking for a work from home remote job, here are some of the best remote companies to work for.
