FlexJobs Reveals Top Entry-Level Remote And Hybrid Jobs For 2025
Remote and hybrid jobs are expanding across industries.
For new graduates, it's an exciting time filled with a combination of opportunity and uncertainty. While searching for a new job can be overwhelming, there's good news on the horizon. According to FlexJobs' latest analysis of over 145,000 job postings across over 60,000 companies, entry-level remote and hybrid jobs are expanding across multiple industries. A recent survey by the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE) also revealed that employers plan to hire 7.3% more recent graduates than they did in 2024. This is promising news for new grads and other job seekers looking for flexible work options.
Over 70% of Americans prefer a remote or hybrid work environment, according to a Harris Poll commissioned by the American Staffing Association. 'The question of whether employees should work fully in person, fully remote, or on a hybrid schedule has been a top issue facing organizations across America since the pandemic triggered a workplace revolution,' says Richard Wahlquist, CEO of the American Staffing Association. "As organizations navigate the future of the workplace, the most successful ones will embrace workplace flexibility and focus on creating strong employee-centric cultures."
Here's a look at the top 20 career fields for entry-level remote and hybrid Jobs, along with the companies that posted the most entry-level online jobs in early 2025.
FlexJobs identified the top 20 career fields that posted the highest volume of entry-level remote and hybrid positions in early 2025:
Capitalizing on past momentum, customer service, administrative, and medical and health fields continue to lead the way for entry-level remote work. These categories were closely followed by accounting, finance, and computer and IT, which maintained consistently high volumes of fully remote and hybrid entry-level roles.
What's noteworthy is the significant growth in sales and account management job listings, which more than doubled compared to 2024. This surge reflects the fact that companies are recognizing the benefits of remote sales teams, including cost savings, access to a broader talent pool, and increased flexibility for employees. While the software development, HR and legal fields had fewer total job listings, they showed enough growth to rank in the top 20.
When examining specific job titles, these ranked highest for entry-level remote and hybrid roles:
Reflecting overall category trends, customer service and business development topped the list of in-demand roles. Account executives, sales representatives, insurance agents, and customer support specialists also showed strong demand. Administrative assistants, accountants, and project coordinators demonstrated steady growth to complete the list.
FlexJobs also identified employers posting the most entry-level remote and hybrid positions, which include industries like healthcare, finance, government, and data services:
According to a Zety survey, 92% of Gen Z trust TikTok for career advice, yet 55% admit to following misleading advice on the platform. FlexJobs' career experts emphasize the importance of trusted guidance over controversial trends. Toni Frana, Career Expert Manager at FlexJobs, shares this advice, 'For new graduates looking for entry-level work, it's important to put together a career plan outlining short and long-term career goals. From there, outlining some action steps such as building your personal brand, networking, and writing your resume to apply to jobs are natural next steps. Remember, a job search takes time and often feels like a job in and of itself, but with the right plan in place, new graduates have ample opportunities in a variety of career fields.'
Remote and hybrid work are no longer considered employee perks. They are increasingly non-negotiable, especially among younger professionals entering the workforce. For new graduates, this presents an opportunity to access a broader range of roles while prioritizing work-life balance, reducing commuting costs and building careers aligned with their values and work styles. Also, employers are more open than ever to skills-based hiring rather than focusing on traditional qualifications. By investing in skill development, both young professionals and experienced workers can benefit from meaningful career paths.

Poll Shows Companies Maintaing DEI Intiatives Have Better Reputations
Source: Cheng Xin / Getty In news surprising to absolutely no one, it turns out companies that have walked back their diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiative have suffered measurable reputational damage with consumers. According to a poll conducted by Axios, companies that maintained their DEI policies saw their reputational scores actually increase. The scores are based on metrics that measure 'trust, culture, ethics, citizenship, vision, growth, and products and services.' Of the 100 companies centered in the poll, there was an average reputation decline of 2.34 points. A common trait shared by the companies that received these declines is that they walked back their commitments to DEI initiatives. The majority of these withdrawals came as a result of the Trump administration's ongoing assault against anything it sees as DEI. Yet notably, companies such as Costco and Microsoft, which have held their ground on their DEI commitments, saw their reputations increase at an average of 1.5 points. These results come as a recent Pew Research poll shows that the majority of Americans still believe DEI initiatives are good for the workplace. As I said in the headline, this news really isn't that surprising if you've been paying even the slightest amount of attention over the last several months. Target has really committed itself to being a corporate lolcow this year, as its steps to wind back its DEI initiatives have blown up spectacularly in its face. In fact, let's speed run through how bad this has gone for Target. Almost as soon as the company announced it would be rolling back its DEI initiatives, consumer boycotts began in earnest. Initially, there was anecdotal evidence of their effect as foot traffic had been noticeably down in Target stores in the weeks following the boycotts. The impact was so bad that the company reached out to Rev. Al Sharpton to help figure out how they could rebuild trust with the Black community. Source: picture alliance / Getty Target's 2025 woes were compounded during an earnings call in late May, where they revealed a 2.8 percent decrease in sales in the wake of the boycotts. This didn't help the continuous decline of Target's stock price, with shares dropping 3.5 percent after they revealed the sales dip. Target was one of the companies included in Axios' poll, and its reputation went down by five percentage points and was listed in the bottom 25 percent when it came to ethics. Meanwhile, Costco's been out here big stepping with that 'I ball too hard, my girl too bad, my money too tall'-type energy. Shareholders overwhelmingly voted to keep their current DEI measures intact, and consumers seem to have noticed. Last week, Costco revealed that its earnings and revenue increased eight percent over the last quarter. Just speaking for myself and my family, the money that we would usually spend on a Target run has instead been redirected to Big Kirkland, and I wouldn't be surprised if that was true of many Black households throughout the country. Target's ongoing woes have proved to be a warning sign for a significant number of American retailers. Companies such as Walmart and Home Depot listed consumer boycotts as a potential risk in their annual regulatory filings. The numbers don't lie; withdrawing from DEI initiatives has proven to be a bad business. Here's hoping American companies finally take the hint (they won't, though, let's be real).

Fed Chair Powell has closed door meeting at the White House on interest rate cuts
Federal Reserve Bank Chair Jerome Powell stayed the course after being summoned to an economic woodshed at the White House by President Trump, who has been vocal about demands that the Fed ax interest rates. The May 29 faceoff was Powell's first visit to the White House during Trump's second tour. In a statement, Powell's office said the meeting's agenda was to "to discuss economic developments, including for growth, employment, and inflation." Don't miss the move: Subscribe to TheStreet's free daily newsletter Both sides said the meeting was at the invitation of the president, who told Powell in person what he's been saying and tweeting for months: the Fed's refusal to cut interest rates was a "mistake" damaging the economy. The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System voted unanimously in early May to approve the establishment of the primary credit rate at the existing level of 4.5% – which means interest rates for lenders, consumers and the rest of Americans won't be budging in the near term, much to the dismay of the Trump administration. This stance "will be updated as appropriate to reflect decisions of the Federal Open Market Committee or the Board of Governors regarding details of the Federal Reserve's operational tools and approach to implement monetary policy," the central bank said in a statement. XinhuaTrump's repeated demands underscore the volatility of U.S. trade policy and provide another flash point for global worries about fiscal policy, which have sent bond yields sharply higher. The whiplashed tariffs, primarily those against China and the E.U., add to economic jitters, Related: Fed official sends strong message about interest-rate cuts Since April 2, or "Liberation Day," tariff threats and trade jitters have spooked buyers and sellers into a seemingly endless roller-coaster ride. Many market, economic, and financial experts have begun publicly warning of a recession within a few months, while others predict a nation stuck in a nasty stagflation. The Federal Reserve has a dual mandate to target low inflation and unemployment. The central bank can raise interest rates to slow inflation, which can cause unemployment. Or it can cut rates to boost job growth, but that can cause inflation. Monetary and stock market experts expect the Fed will lower interest rates by one quarter point in September. Trump told Powell in their meeting he wanted the cuts sooner. Related: Jamie Dimon sends terse message on stocks, economy The Fed's statement following the White House meeting said Powell "did not discuss his expectations for monetary policy, except to stress that the path of policy will depend entirely on incoming economic information and what that means for the outlook." A White House spokeswoman agreed with the statement, but added that the president pressed for immediate action to lower the rates. Powell also said in the Fed statement that he and his colleagues will set monetary policy "as required by law, to support maximum employment and stable prices and will make those decisions based solely on careful, objective, and non-political analysis." Powell will give the opening remarks June 2 at the Federal Reserve Board's International Finance (IF) Division 75th Anniversary Conference, Washington, D.C. The conference will feature a series of panel discussions focused on the division's history and people, as well as an academic panel and presentations by former IF economists.
