Remotejobify report · November 2026
Only 49% of remote jobs are open to people in the US
On 11 November 2026, 29,568 of the 60,757 remote jobs listed on Remotejobify (49%) were open to people in the US. How we check.
Today we read 60,757 open remote jobs, straight from companies’ own job boards, and checked who each one is actually open to. For people in the US, most “remote” jobs are out of reach.
What we found
- Only 49% of remote jobs are open to people in the US. That’s 29,568 of 60,757.
- About 1 in 3 hire in a single other country. 21,937 are open in one country that isn’t the US.
- “Work from anywhere” is rare. Only 489 jobs, about 1 in 124, are open to anyone, anywhere.
- 26,085 jobs are open only to people in the US. The rest of the 29,568 name the US alongside other countries, or a region that includes it, such as North America or the Americas.
- Pay is mostly hidden. Only 8,682 of the 29,568 show a salary, 8,427 of them in US dollars.
- Some roles are more open than others. About 60% of product jobs are open to the US, and 57% of sales jobs, but only 34% of QA and testing ones.
- 4,718 companies are hiring people in the US remotely. 3,563 of these jobs were posted in the past week.
What it means if you’re job hunting in the US
- Check who a job is open to before you apply. A job that names another country, or a region like EMEA, in its location usually won’t hire you.
- A salary in US dollars, a US time zone or “US” or “North America” in the location are good signs.
- Or skip the checking: every job on Remotejobify has been read this way, and shows the line that proves it’s open to you.

How we counted
We read each job from the company’s own job board, including its location and description, and work out who it’s open to. A job counts as open to the US if it names the US, a region that includes it, like North America or the Americas, or says you can work from anywhere. A job that doesn’t say counts as not open. These numbers are from today’s list, 11 November 2026, and change as jobs open and close.
