Remote job listings made up 18.4% of paid job postings on LinkedIn in May, attracting 53.5% of applications, up from 2.9% in January 2020, according to LinkedIn data.
Using LinkedIn as a source of data is completely pointless.
I see the same exact position posted 20 times by the same 3rd party recruiter.
I see positions posted as listed in Zurich with a title of "Software Engineer, Bangalore Office (relocation provided)" which is listed 30 times for the 30 biggest cities in the world.
I see positions deleted and being re-created daily to pop up in job seeker's filters again.
Given the amount of people applying for fewer remote jobs one would think employers could/should start paying lower salaries for remote employees, if they haven’t already.
