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 companies that frequently hire for part-time, work-from-home jobs. The company list following is based on an analysis of over 50,000 companies in FlexJobs’ database.
