Context. COVID-19 is reshaping the global economy by leading to an increase in jobs that can be performed remotely. A remote tech industry would have different properties than a non-remote tech industry. Most significantly, location would be a less of a constraint on where people work and who companies hire. 

For more on this metric, see the accompanying metric analysis: "Tech Jobs Are Going Remote; UK Leads the Way."

2020-Q3 results are now included in the graph. 11.6% of software engineer job postings in 2020-Q3 allowed for remote work.

This question has been voided by an administrator and is no longer active.

We are voiding this question because the graph incorrectly reported the 2020 Q3 value at 11.6%, whereas it was in fact 8.4%. We expect forecasters significantly overestimated the forecasted value due to that error. We will soon re-issue this question for a later period.
