\"New<\/p>\n

Freelancers are increasingly making up a larger percentage of the workforce and businesses of all sizes are offering more telecommuting gigs to accommodate them.<\/p>\n

The new survey from Virtual Vocations<\/a> has ranked the top telecommute jobs of 2018 along with the seasonal telecommute jobs through December.<\/p>\n

As the freelancer and telecommute job market matures, it is attracting professionals across many different industries<\/a>. The participation of these professionals is especially beneficial for small businesses looking to hire experts for projects and one-off jobs.<\/p>\n

CEO of Virtual Vocations, Laura Spawn, addressed this very point in the press release announcing the results of the survey. Spawn said<\/a>, “The average telecommute jobseeker is over 40 years of age with a minimum of a bachelor’s degree and at least five years of experience working remotely, so it’s no surprise that the best jobs of 2018 reflect many diverse, mid-level career specialties.”<\/p>\n

The list for 2018 was compiled from Virtual Vocation’s mid-year company data through June 30, 2018. Other data include salary and job growth collected by PayScale and the  Bureau of Labor Statistics<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The company also said these jobs will experience growth at least until 2026.<\/p>\n

    Seasonal Hires<\/h3>\n

    More and more seasonal jobs are also being carried out by telecommuters. According to Spawn, this can be a great testing ground for professionals looking to telecommute fulltime.<\/p>\n

    The company said there will be a boom in seasonal hiring through the end of 2018. Customer service, sales, marketing and travel industries are already filling jobs to get ahead of the holiday shopping surge.<\/p>\n

    The Growth of Telecommuting and Freelancing<\/h3>\n

    More Americans are working from home, including freelancers. According to a report<\/a> (PDF) by MBO Partners, around 32% or 40 million of the private workforce are currently working as independent professionals at some level.  Of these, 16.9 million are doing so 15 or more hours per week.<\/p>\n

    By 2027, the report says 6 in 10 Americans or 58% will be independent or will have worked independently.<\/p>\n
