For many Americans, working a remote job from the comfort of your cozy home sounds like the ultimate dream. After all, what's better than waltzing to your home office straight from bed and attending meetings in your PJ bottoms from time to time? Some could argue that there isn't much.
Fortunately for those people, there are plenty of well-known, big-name companies hiring remote positions across the United States with everything from entry-level to executive roles, and some have huge salaries.
With the onslaught of the pandemic in 2020, data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics shows that 33% of United States companies increased telework for some or all of their employees.
So let's take a look at the U.S. companies that are hiring a ton of remote workers right now:

Some roles are paying up to $190K, and every Home Depot employee is guaranteed benefits via pay bonuses, paid parental leave, and employee discounts on shopping, groceries, and electronics. Oh! And you'll never step foot in the home improvement store for work!
