Remote Work Statistics

Remote work statistics, live from the job pool

Every statistic on this page is computed from the 5403 live remote job listings on 101 Careers at the moment you loaded it — not from a survey, a projection or a press release. The pool is re-read from employer applicant tracking systems and partner feeds every few hours, so these numbers move with the market. Methodology for each figure is stated beside it; everything is derived in code, nothing is hand-entered.

Headline numbers

• 5,403 live remote job listings right now.
• 8% publish a salary range (426 of 5,403 listings). Method: any live job with a positive salary_min or salary_max.
• $115k median advertised salary floor. Method: median of the salary_min values across USD listings with an annual-scale figure (salary_min ≥ $10,000; smaller USD values in the data are hourly rates).
• 173 live roles pay a base of $100,000 or more; 74 pay $150,000 or more. Method: USD salary_min ≥ the tier threshold — browse them at our $100k+ jobs and $150k+ jobs hubs.

How to read these numbers

This is a census of one job board — the remote listings 101 Careers tracks — not the entire remote labour market, so treat percentages as a transparency measure for remote hiring specifically rather than a claim about the whole economy. Salary figures cover only listings that publish a range, which skews towards US employers and engineering roles. Money statistics use USD listings only; we exclude non-USD ranges rather than convert them at a guessed exchange rate.

How often this updates

Employer ATS boards are re-read every six hours and partner feeds every three, and this page recomputes from the live pool on the same cycle. Roles that disappear from their source are retired automatically. Prefer the raw data? RSS and a free JSON API are both open.
