Florida is the No. 1 state for remote jobs, survey says

The pandemic has, no doubt, changed the way we live.

From the way we voted to the way we shop and to the way we work and where we work.

Remote, social distancing could be with us for a while if COVID-19 surges because the demand for remote jobs goes hand-inhand, according to Moneypenny.

According to a survey by the outsourced communication provider, Florida is the No. 1 state with the most remote jobs based on Moneypenny’s analysis of more than 71,000 remote jobs on Indeed, a remote job site.

These are the 10 states with the best chances of finding remote work — with the Top 3 of Florida, California and New York each numbering 7,000 remote jobs listed per capita:
