Remote jobs are getting harder to come by. As of December 2023, remote jobs made up less than 10% of postings advertised on LinkedIn, down from a high of 20.6% in March 2022 — even though close to half of jobseekers prefer remote roles. To examine where remote hiring is happening the most for high-paying jobs, FlexJobs identified the top 10 occupations with the highest number of remote job openings on their site between January and March 2024 that pay more than $100,000. The top industries offering ample remote work opportunities with six-figure salaries include tech, marketing and project management, per FlexJobs data provided to CNBC Make It. With that in mind, here are some in-demand, high-paying remote jobs that can earn you a salary of $100,000 or more, according to data from FlexJobs and Payscale:1.

There are dozens of in-demand, non-tech side hustles you can do remotely to earn extra cash — some of which can pay as much as $100 an hour. These jobs have dozens of active listings and offer remote, part-time opportunities. Some of these remote side hustles can pay upwards of $100 per hour, depending on your level of skill and the project. Bookkeepers on Upwork, for example, can charge as much as $175 an hour or, for some projects, $300 an hour. The most salient benefit of pursuing one of these remote side hustles, says Frana, is the flexibility.

While the concept of working wherever you want might sound too good to be true, with the right remote job, that dream can become a reality. In a work-from-anywhere job, employees work "100% remotely, are independent of location and, in many cases, are also independent of a specific time zone," says Toni Frana, a lead career expert at FlexJobs. Most remote jobs have geographic requirements, whether it's a specific country, state or city, mainly due to state and federal regulations that dictate where companies can hire people and do business. FlexJobs also identified the 10 most in-demand work-from-anywhere jobs companies are hiring for right now by analyzing its database for the roles that had the highest volume of work-from-anywhere listings between January and April 2023.

Germania ar trebui să se limiteze la impunerea testării şi a carantinei pentru persoanele venite din această ţară, pentru a acţiona conform abordării Uniunii Europene, a indicat marţi Comisia Europeană. Germania a informat Bruxellesul că, în prezent, consideră Portugalia drept „zonă cu variante de virus” şi că, prin urmare, doreşte să activeze frâna de urgenţă care permite restricţionarea libertăţii de circulaţie pentru a preveni răspândirea COVID-19, a confirmat executivul comunitar, transmite Digi24. Comisia Europeană atenționează însă că restricţiile severe asupra călătoriilor către şi dinspre Portugalia anunţate de Berlin „nu par să fie deplin aliniate” recomandărilor menite să faciliteze călătoriile în blocul comunitar vara aceasta. Varianta indiană a coronavirusului (varianta Delta) a devenit predominantă şi în Portugalia, astfel că Germania a interzis aproape toate sosirile dinspre această ţară, pe care a inclus-o pe lista ţărilor cu risc epidemiologic.
