Remote workers are out-earning their in-office peers in several industries including tech and finance, according to new research from Payscale.
The findings corroborate other research that shows that people who work from home earn more.
Remote workers are twice as likely to earn above the median pay for non-remote workers in the same industry and zip code, a study from payroll provider Gusto found last fall.
For their report, Payscale surveyed over 300,000 working U.S. adults between August 2021 and August 2023, defining "remote" as anyone who telecommutes most or all of the time.
Retail and customer service has the widest pay gap between remote and non-remote workers of all industries, Payscale reports, followed by finance and insurance, with tech and manufacturing a close third and fourth.
