According to Deel, Latin American workers are increasingly focused on remote work for international organizations.
The report explains that this is likely a result of the decline of local economies and jobs due to the after-effects of the Covid-19 pandemic.
Furthermore, the report, focused on tech and remote work, said that the number of companies hiring in the region has now risen to more than 800% year-on-year, YoY, which is more than double the hiring rate for countries outside the continent.
“Almost 10 percent of payroll withdrawals from contracts in Africa are in cryptocurrency while top countries in Africa where hiring is growing include Nigeria, South Africa, and Kenya.”
