As Canadians hunker down amid the COVID-19 crisis, job seekers are increasingly looking for remote work. The share of Canadian job searches on Indeed including terms like \u201cremote\u201d, \u201cwork from home\u201d, \u201ct\u00e9l\u00e9travail\u201d, and related phrases, has more than doubled over the past two weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remote work-related job searches were fairly stable in February, accounting for about 0.6% of all Canadian searches throughout the month. However search patterns changed quickly as COVID-19 cases, and an emphasis on social distancing grew. As of March 22nd, close to 1.6% of all Canadian job searches included terms relating to remote-work, up 164% compared to their share in late last month.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Canadian
Line graph titled “Canadian job seeker interest in remote work has surged.” With a vertical axis ranging from 0% to 1.8%, Indeed tracked the remote work-related share of total Canadian job searches along a horizontal axis ranging from February 1 to March 22, 2020. As of March 22, 2020, close to 1.6% of all Canadian job searches included terms related to remote work. Caption added post-publication. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Job seekers looking to work from home tend to click postings where interaction over the phone or video-conference is fairly straightforward. Compared to the average job seeker, positions in customer service, telemarketing, and as assistants all receive particularly strong interest from remote-searchers. Social media manager, tutor, and full stack developer jobs are also clicked on at relatively high rates. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Remote
Table titled “Remote job seekers especially likely to click on telemarketing and customer service positions.” Indeed ranked the top 10 job titles receiving the most disproportionate interest from Canadians searching for remote work between March 1 and March 15, 2020. Telemarketer ranked top. Caption added post-publication.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

As job seekers, workers and workplaces grapple with the implications of social distancing, interest in remote work will likely keep rising. Growth in remote work might have been a long-term trend, but this immediate shift is going to be a tough transition for some, especially those with kids home from school. However, workers with roles that can\u2019t be done from home are in the toughest situation, facing risks to both their job security and own health. The increase in interest in remote work shows some job seekers looking to make the best of a bad situation.
