The availability of six-figure remote and hybrid job opportunities is shrinking to near pre-pandemic levels, with exceptions in two industries: healthcare and technology, according to a new report from career site Ladders.

The “Q2 2025 Ladders Quarterly High Paying Jobs Report,” released July 23, analyzed more than 1 million job postings from January through June for roles paying $100,000 or more annually. 

Across industries, high-paying remote and hybrid job opportunities fell 14.9% in the second quarter of 2025 compared with the first quarter, according to the report. 

Currently, only 6.3% of high-paying jobs are available as fully remote, compared with about 4% in 2019 and 7.4% in the first quarter of 2025. 

In healthcare and technology, 12.7% and 30.6% of high-paying jobs are available as fully remote, respectively, according to the report. This represents a 29.6% quarter-over-quarter increase in healthcare and a 12% quarter-over-quarter increase for technology. 

Currently, 11.4% and 27.7% of high-paying jobs are available as hybrid in healthcare and technology, respectively.

Ladders’ founder Marc Cenedella noted in the report, “Just because flexibility is scaling back doesn’t mean it’s dead. It’s just moved. Telehealth is driving the change in healthcare. In legal and sales jobs, results win the day. If you can win cases and close deals, employers don’t care where you’re based. Performance speaks louder than presence in results-driven roles.”

As part of its report, Ladders also examined job titles, career fields and the companies with the most high-paying jobs available. 

According to the report, the roles among the most high-paying positions are:

1. Nurse practitioner

2. Physician assistant

3. Physical therapist

4. Senior software engineer

5. Physician

6. Medical director

7. Project manager

8. Sales specialist, remote

9. Outside sales representative

10. Customer success sales manager, remote 

And, companies offering the most six-figure jobs are:

1. Deloitte

2. Amazon

3. PricewaterhouseCoopers

4. Theoria Medical

5. BioSpace

6. Google

7. Capital One

8. Johnson & Johnson

9. CVS Health

10. West Henderson Hospital
