CareerOneStop offers Job Finder for Remote Jobs
Work-from-home or virtual job arrangements are becoming more and more popular with employers and workers across industries and occupations. Whether it’s for health, family, or other scheduling reasons, more people are interested in remote job opportunities. And employers are realizing the benefits of offering remote options in jobs ranging from entry-level customer service to advanced software development or research positions.
CareerOneStop’s new Find a Remote Job tool aims to connect employers and job seekers with job opportunities where the worker is not required to be onsite. Job seekers can enter a job title or other keyword to find job postings in any U.S. location. All of the listings are from the National Labor Exchange (NLx), co-sponsored by the Direct Employers Association and the National Association of State Workforce Agencies. Listings include postings from state job banks and private employers that use the word “remote” in the posting.
Some of the jobs listed are entirely work-from-home, and some may require employees to be onsite some of the time. Some may be temporarily remote positions, with plans to switch to in-person in the future. One note of caution: some postings may be included because the listing has the word “remote”, but the position is not actually remote. The list of results is a good starting point to begin searching for a partly or entirely virtual position. Users can further filter their results by company name, location, or date posted.

Special note on upcoming O*NET taxonomy changes
O*NET plans to release comprehensive occupational data based on the new 2019 O*NET taxonomy on November 17, 2020. In mid-December, CareerOneStop will update to the new O*NET taxonomy as well as the latest SOC taxonomy, and CareerOneStop APIs will return the updated O*NET and SOC data.
This means that current users of CareerOneStop APIs that include O*NET or SOC data may need to update other parts of their systems to continue to interact with this new taxonomy. Check back for more information if you need assistance after mid-December at CareerOneStop’s Web API information section.
Find more information about the O*NET-SOC 2019 Taxonomy. O*NET has also created taxonomy transition assistance for developers moving from O*NET 2010 to O*NET 2019.
