All 16 cities that qualified, with the figure each is ranked on.
How this ranking works
A city's score is the share of its open professional roles whose posting says the work is hybrid (some days on site, some remote).
Only roles verified on the employer's own career site in the last week are counted. A city where one employer posts at least half the openings is not ranked, so a single company cannot decide a city's score.
Sample bar: cities with fewer than 100 openings are not ranked.

Our job data covers professional roles on the career sites of employers we track, so figures describe that market, not every job. Spot an error? Tell us.
