Number of U.S. digital nomads 2019-2022, by employment status
Digital nomads generally combine remote work and travel for various reasons and lengths of time. Passionate about traveling and new adventures, they know how to make the most of new technologies and only need an internet connection to work from anywhere in the world. According to the source, the number of digital nomads in the United States continuously increased over the past three years. This upward trend was largely driven by the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. In 2021, the number of U.S. traditional job holders who were digital nomads surpassed 11 million.
