Before you apply

Check your contract before you resign mid-year: some districts charge a fee for breaking it, and some states can act on your teaching licence. Many teachers apply in spring to start in summer.
Look for “US”, “United States”, “North America”, “worldwide” or “anywhere” in the location, and check for a list of states: some US jobs only hire in a few.
A real employer never asks you to pay to apply or to start. See how to spot a remote job scam.

How we counted

We read each remote job from the company’s own job board and work out who it’s open to. A job counts as open to the US if it names it, a region that includes it, or says you can work from anywhere. These numbers are from today’s list and change as jobs open and close.
