Good Morning,

The Bureau of Labor Statistics issued the largest downward jobs correction on record last week — which basically means there were actually far fewer jobs created in the first quarter of 2025 than were initially reported.

It’s another daunting sign of stagnating jobs growth. It’s now almost certain that the Fed will lower interest rates in their meeting tomorrow.

In other news: we’ve added another few hundred companies to the job board, leading to a few thousand more open remote jobs — for a total of 18,000+ as of yesterday.

More to come as we continue to build out the best possible remote job board for job seekers.

REMOTE-FIRST COMPANY SPOTLIGHT

  • Coinbase is a cryptocurrency platform where people can buy, sell, store, and trade digital assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum.

  • 308 open roles, primarily in Engineering, Product Management, Compliance, and much more.

  • Certified to be remote-first, with operations across the globe. Last week, CEO Brian Armstrong shared his keys to successfully building culture as a remote company on X. Among them: have strong values, reinforce those values publicly, have routine (quarterly) meetups, allow certain weeks for employees to recharge.
