People seek part-time work for all kinds of reasons. Some want the freedom and flexibility that part-time work allows. Other people need to balance outside responsibilities with work. And, sometimes people want to work but not all the time.

During the pandemic, part-time work also provides a valuable lifeline for people who are furloughed or laid off from a job. A part-time job can help fill in employment gaps and provide much-needed income or even benefits during these uncertain times.

Recently, we analyzed part-time job postings from our database and identified the companies that posted the most part-time job openings with remote, work-from-home flexibility during April 2020.

Finding a Part-Time, Work-from-Home Job

Part-time work is generally under 30 or 35 hours per week. How the part-time schedule is defined, though, typically depends on the employer’s needs, and sometimes the worker’s preference as well. This is usually determined by a combination of how much the worker wants to work and how many hours a company would like. Most part-time job listings include an estimate or range of hours needed for the role.

Whatever your reason for seeking part-time work that can be done remotely, as you can see, there are tons of opportunities across a variety of job titles and fields.
