A new paper from the U.S. National Bureau of Economic Research identifies the cities where remote jobs are growing the fastest, with London, Sydney, and Toronto seeing significant increases in remote work.
The U.K. is leading in remote, flexible job opportunities compared to the U.S., Australia, Canada, and New Zealand, likely due to its higher proportion of white-collar jobs suitable for remote work.
Dense cities, such as London, Sydney, and Toronto, have a higher prevalence of remote work due to their larger population of knowledge workers and better access to internet connectivity.
The study analyzed over 250 million job vacancies offering remote or hybrid work between 2014 and 2023.
