Remote Jobs on HN Since 2020
When COVID-19 hit in March 2020, remote work went from a perk to a requirement overnight — and HN hiring posts reflected this instantly. Remote job listings as a share of all postings surged through 2020 and 2021, peaking during the great remote-work boom. By 2022–2023, the return-to-office push from major tech firms began to pull those numbers back down, with remote ratios declining even as some companies maintained hybrid options. The data below captures this full arc across 75 months.
