If your job search is specific to remote work and you have been looking for any significant period of time, you have likely come across a few companies that don’t hire people in your state. If you are in a few states, like California, you may think your job prospects are all but nonexistent. Not so fast! I have a few resources for you
While it is true there are a lot of location-specific jobs out there, there are remote opportunities available in every state. Our mission is to provide a list of legitimate leads for every state. These lists won’t be all-inclusive, but they can be a place to start your search. If you are looking for employment opportunities that offer flexibility or a remote environment, but have become discouraged… keep reading.
Why do some companies have location restrictions anyway?
That’s a good question!
At the end of the day, it almost always comes down to two things; laws and taxes. The most common of arch nemeses. Am I right? Most commonly, we are talking about:
- Employment Tax Laws – If a company wants to hire employees in a state other than where it operates, it needs to go through the process of being able to collect and remit taxes in that state.
- Employment Classification – Some companies prefer to hire employees as opposed to independent contractors. Employees come with a lot more restrictions and guidelines. They may need to pay unemployment, overtime, and more.
- Work Space Regulations – That doesn’t mean your workspace, it means the working environment as a whole. Some states require that a break must be taken after working a certain number of hours. And that break may need to be paid by law. And every state is different. That is a lot of rules to abide by if you are hiring employees in every state.
As you can see, this can be a lot of rules to keep up with. Especially considering they are always changing. Therefore, some companies like to keep things simple.
But all isn’t lost. Regardless of your location, you have options. And if you target your search to freelance or independent contractor gigs, even more doors will open. The application process and sometimes, even the hiring process can be lengthy, but there are LEGIT positions out there. Determine the work schedule that best suits your life and get to applying.
NOTE: The jobs listed in these posts were available at the time of publishing. That specific position might be filled now. You should not disregard the lead, however. Maybe there’s another position available. Maybe the careers page just moved. Google is your friend!
