Author here. I run a remote job board and decided to dig into our database to see what's actually happening in the remote job market.

Most surprising finding: Only 28.1% of remote jobs disclose salary. This is a massive waste of everyone's time and perpetuates pay inequality.

Also interesting: Only 8% of "remote" jobs are truly location-agnostic Software dev represents 14% of all remote work Market is extremely hot (3,465 jobs posted in last 30 days)

Happy to answer any questions about the data or methodology!

Source data: Aggregated from RemoteOK, Remotive, and other major remote job boards.
