Almost every third job in IT is remote, making the sector a leader when it comes to flexible working, a new study by electronic retailer Currys reveals
Since the end of the pandemic there has been a shift in mentality for many desk workers in the UK, with nearly half of them (49%) stating their desire for a flexible role has increased.
A staggering 43% of Brits said they would NOT apply for an advertised job if the description didn’t explicitly state that it was flexible.
To find out which industries offer more work-from-home jobs and the average salaries, Currys analysed 762 remote job listings to see which industry offered the most remote roles and which offered the highest average salary for this working situation.
The analysis revealed that the highest percentage of remote roles were in the IT industry (29%), followed by financial services (21%) and then sales (16%).
Remote jobs in IT also offered the highest average salary for their work-from-home positions, with £60,148 being the average salary for a remote role in this industry.
