Remote work solutions become more available at different price ranges

FlexJobs, a platform that helps job seekers find telecommuting and freelance jobs, has just released the latest Flexible Job & Job Search Trend Indexes, which features September data collected by the service. According to the report, the top six fields with the most flexible jobs are Medical & Health, Education, Web & Software development, Sales, Administrative, and Computer & IT.

In the top three, Medical & Health leads the list with 9% in the 3^rd quarter 2011, a rise of 2.5% when compared to the previous quarter. Education follows with 6.9%, also rising when compared to the 4.6% registered in the previous quarter. Next comes Web & Software development which has grown exponentially, from 2.4% registered in the 1^st quarter 2011, then to 3.9% in the 2^nd quarter and finally to 5.8% in September 2011.

“In our recent data, we’re continued to see strong growth in professional fields that people might not typically associate with telecommuting and flexible jobs,” said Sara Sutton Fell, FlexJobs CEO.

“The truth is that telecommuting and flexible jobs are much, much more widespread than they’re given credit for,” she added.

According to the company, job seekers looking for jobs in Data Entry were fortunate in September since there was an 87% growth in job postings when compared to August. Other areas where there was noticeable growth in job postings were Accounting & Finance with 28.4%, Consulting with 27.8% and Business Development with a 20% growth in September.

On the other hand, job postings diminished by 32% in Writing, Web Design with 23% and Graphic Design with a 22% drop.

Still there are were some surprising job postings appearing in the FlexJobs in the latest months, including Marine Species Observer, State Director Nursing, and a History & Ethnic Studies Instructor.

Remote access server adoption has been growing steadily over the last years, with remote work increasing by 33% in companies all over the United States over the last three years. With the widening of the market, remote desktop control solutions are also becoming more and more available at different price ranges, offering different tools to address telecommuting challenges.
