While we battle through the unknowns of this pandemic, people across the country are struggling to find work. While you may already have a career in mind, perhaps looking for a job that allows you to work remotely as its main aspect would be a good option.

According to Forbes, "five of the most popular work-from-home jobs include accountant, customer service representative, project manager, nurse and writer. Some of the fastest-growing remote career categories include art and creative, bookkeeping, k-12, graphic design and translation."

In January, Forbes published the Top 100 companiesfor remote jobs. Among those included Appen, Lionbridge, Working Solutions and even Dell!

It's safe to say that there are a vast number of options for remote working, but all of it can be a bit intense. This is why we compiled a list of websites that will make that process a little easier.
