I didn't go through the raw dataset (which is generated by this query, https://news.ycombinator.com/submitted?id=whoishiring https://news.ycombinator.com/submitted?id=whoishiring) but two obvious issues with the count are, it didn't filter out duplicates and it's just grep'ing the post for the word remote. So for example, "remote work not allowed," counts as a posting for remote work.
I have no doubt the demand for remote work is up but I am not sure this count accurately measures by how much, even for just hacker news postings.

- pzo 5y agoOn top of that 'remote' has many different meaning these days e.g: a) remote allowed but you have to be in the same city just in case we need you in office b) remote allowed but we need you at least 1 day in office c) remote allowed but you have to be in our country d) remote allowed but from time to time maybe you will need to be/fly to our office e) remote allowed for the time being but at one point after it's safe we need you in the office

Plus if you're doing a lot of international traveling while being directly employed, you are probably breaking immigration law wherever you're going (you're not allowed to work on a tourist visa, even if its remotely).
