Amount of remote jobs being advertised grows
There's been a 2,000% rise in the number of remote working jobs advertised.
IrishJobs.ie says the changing ways people work during the pandemic is reflected in it's figures, which compare listings on the website, compared with 2019.
Science, Pharmaceuticals and Food saw a 161% increase in the number of vacancies in 2020 compared with the previous year.
General Manager Orla Moran says the option has always been there, but it's only become popular in the last year.
"We've always had a work from home as a category on IrishJobs, with very few jobs posted in that category prior to the pandemic.
"Interestingly enough if we look at the number of jobs posted year on year in the work from category, we're seeing growth of nearly 2,000%.
"Now that's a huge number as you're working from an extremely low base in Q4 of 2019."
