Teleworking, which became a decisive factor over six years ago, has remained significant in companies within the Valencian Community and at the national level. Following the March 2020 lockdown, this remote work modality, previously uncommon, has continued to be a prominent feature, even serving as an incentive for talent acquisition.
The 2025 Report on the Socioeconomic and Labor Situation of the Valencian Community, prepared by the Economic and Social Committee (CES-CV) based on data from the National Statistics Institute's (INE) Active Population Survey (EPA), reveals that 344,400 professionals teleworked last year. This figure represents a slight increase of 2.5% compared to 2024 but shows a tenth of a percentage point decrease in relative terms of the total employed, indicating stabilization.
The trend regarding remote work modality has reversed. While in 2024 occasional teleworkers outnumbered those who worked remotely more than half the days, in 2025 the opposite occurred: 174,500 professionals worked remotely most of the time, compared to 169,900 who opted for this option more occasionally.
By gender, 15% of employed men (194,200) teleworked in 2025, a 7.5% increase from the previous year. Conversely, 13.33% of employed women (150,200) worked remotely, a 3.3% decrease from 2024.
The Valencian Community is diverging from the national average, which has reached nearly 3.5 million people (15.6% of the total employed population). The Valencian Community is now a tenth of a percentage point below the Spanish average, ranking as the fourth region with the highest teleworking rate, behind Madrid, Catalonia, and the Balearic Islands. The latter saw the largest growth (45.1%) in 2025.
The CES-CV highlights that working from home increased in all autonomous communities, particularly in the Canary Islands (34.6%) and Catalonia (26.3%). In contrast, Extremadura, La Rioja, Melilla, and Ceuta recorded fewer than one in ten professionals teleworking.
