The pandemic failed to make it a routine for Ukrainians to work remotely: employees are getting back to offices. According to various data, between three and six percent of Ukrainian employers are currently offering remote jobs.
As reported by Work.ua and Jooble, the number of remote jobs offered in April 2020 was between seven and eight percent of the total number of jobs. It is twice as many as offered now.
