From remote work to in-person: here's who is hiring in North Louisiana

Two years following the national lockdown the workforce has a different look, and employees no longer need to rush into the office every day. With that change in work-life culture, remote jobs have hit their highest levels.

SmallPDF released Aug. 20 that ‘Remote jobs’ reached their highest search level on Google in the month of Aug. That is the highest level seen since searches began being recorded in 2004.

“With the pandemic sparking a never before seen influx of opportunities to work from home, interest in remote working may continue to rise over the next decade,” said a spokesperson from SmallPDF.

A WalletHub study noted said, “if remote work is important to you, the leverage is there now more than ever. That being said, a recession is coming, so now is the time to become employed. “
