What the Remote hiring trend shows

Remote is the single most dramatic shift in the whole 'Who is hiring?' dataset. For a decade it is a steady minority of postings; then in 2021 it erupts as companies went remote-first overnight, before settling into a new, much higher normal. The chart shows that step-change vividly - use share mode to see remote's slice of the market jump, and raw counts for absolute volume. Drill into any month to read the postings and watch the language evolve, from 'remote OK' to 'remote-first' to the later 'hybrid' framing.
