The appeal of work-from-home is on the rise even as postings for remote jobs are on the decline, according to new LinkedIn data.

In February 2022, a record one in five jobs advertised on the site in the US offered remote work. By September, this figure had fallen to just 14%. Meanwhile, the allure of these opportunities has only grown: Remote job listings attract 52% of applications, up from 50% in February.
