The most searched-for job in the USA is a side hustle you can do from home
A 2024 survey has highlighted some of the most popular jobs in America while also uplifting a range of work-from-home roles.
Remote working became all the rage in 2020 after the world locked down to combat the growing COVID-19 pandemic. Though the nation has somewhat returned to the norm, there is still a steady demand for remote roles as Americans fight for that coveted work-life balance.
The list featured some popular work-from-home jobs
Peppermonkey Media recently delved into the jobs industry as they ranked roles by how many Google searches had been registered by the American workforce. Though the list featured both traditional and remote jobs, it also demonstrated how eager the nation’s workers are for alternative approaches to making bank.
A massive 694,000 searches were dedicated to jobs at Amazon, which goes beyond the realm of the company itself and into the ever-expanding world of freelance work. Remote jobs through Amazon are also a hot topic on sites like TikTok.
“A lot of these people are likely searching for side hustles they can do from home. These include being an Amazon selling partner (FBA), customer service associate, or affiliate partner,” said Peppermonkey President Vincent Iachetta Jr.
Despite offering popular remote jobs and also hosting external opportunities like affiliate marketing, Amazon has a less-than-stellar relationship with work-from-home employees.
MORE FOCUS STORIES
In 2023, Amazon CEO Andy Jassy admitted: “It’s past the time to disagree and commit. And if you can’t disagree and commit, I also understand that, but it’s probably not going to work out for you at Amazon because we are going back to the office at least three days a week, and it’s not right for all of our teammates to be in three days a week and for people to refuse to do so.”
His comments drew massive criticism as one person penned on Twitter: “Big Tech hypocrisy. Work from anywhere, except if you work for us.”
Other popular jobs
Next up on the most popular work-from-home jobs was virtual assistant, with 101,000 searches. Though the exact nature of the job tends to differ between employees, being a virtual assistant usually involves scheduling appointments, making phone calls, arranging travel, and managing email.
Flight attendant jobs ranked In third place with 33,000 searches, followed by another remote job, data analyst. In fifth place came a tie between receptionist and software engineer with 18,000 searches.
The rest of the ranked jobs, which were not remote opportunities, were delivery driver, HR representative, admin, personal assistant, real estate agent, and truck driver.

Campbell’s Soup Is Trying to Change Its Name. Here’s Why.
The 155-year-old Campbell Soup Company, the first to bring canned soups to the market, wants to drop the “Soup” part of its name and go by just the Campbell’s Company. Shareholders can vote on the suggested name change in November at Campbell’s annual meeting.
The request reflects Campbell’s broader strategy to expand beyond soup and into higher-growth categories, like snacks, which have shown promise. Snack sales grew 13% for the company last year while soups grew 3%. Nearly 48% of Campbell’s net sales came from snacks in fiscal year 2023. Meanwhile, Campbell’s Goldfish brand reached annual net sales of $1 billion in March, a feat only attained by one other product from the company: its iconic red-and-white-labeled soup.
Campbell CEO Mark Clouse said at an investor event on Tuesday that the “subtle-yet-important” name change more accurately reflects “the full breadth of the company’s portfolio.” Earlier this year, Campbell acquired Sovos Brands, the company behind the Rao’s sauces, Noosa’s Yoghurt, and Michael Angelo’s frozen entrees brands, for $2.7 billion.
The company has also made other acquisitions, like a $4.87 billion deal for snack company Snyder’s-Lance in 2017.

Campbell executives said on Tuesday that they see stable sales in soup, 3% to 4% annual growth in snacks, and 1% to 2% in meals and beverages.
Even though the company assumes no annual growth in soup, it continues to innovate and invest in the category. Campbell recently introduced new spicy soup flavors, including the Ghost Pepper Chicken Noodle soup, to appeal to younger shoppers. Older populations usually buy more soup, so sales in that category could rise from groups like older millennials, the company said.
Campbell’s fourth-quarter earnings for the three months ending July 18, 2024, show that total net sales were up from the previous quarter, from $2.068 billion to $2.293 billion.
“For the last five years, we have been on a transformative journey to redefine our company,” Clouse stated.
