U.S. companies are doing more than just allowing many local employees to work from home. They’re also seeking out new employees anywhere in the country, and even beyond.

Glassdoor, the job posting site, says its remote job openings are up 28.3% from a year ago even while overall listings are down 23%. Staffing firm Manpower estimates that more than one in four jobs posted in the U.S. specify no location, up from one in 10 in January. Some companies, of course, are more willing to accommodate teleworking while the outbreak remains a threat.
Another benefit of remote work is increased hiring of underrepresented minorities such as Black Americans and Hispanics. In May, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg predicted that as much as 50% of the company's 45,000-person workforce could be working remotely in the next five to 10 years. Zuckerberg said the shift would help Facebook diversify its workforce.
Hiring, of course, came to a relative standstill in March and April as states shut down restaurants, stores, movie theaters and other outlets to avoid contagion, an economic deep-freeze that rippled to the professional service firms that can let employees work remotely. Now, however, firms are filling some positions that were open before the crisis as well as others created during the outbreak as employees quit to care for sick relatives, MacDonald says.
