Van- and RV-dwellers have some advantages regarding employment:

• you can go where the work is
• you can live on less income and can therefore work a wider variety of jobs
• you can work for things other than money: parking, board, etc

Digital nomads are folks who “work from home”. With the advent of Covid, even more tech-type jobs have become remote and can theoretically be done from anywhere. For the most part these are career-type jobs that will require a good deal of experience before you can go fully remote, and if you have already gotten to that level in your career you likely don't need to read this wiki about how to get a remote job.

Typical careers that have good remote potential are usually highly technical in fields like Software Development, graphic design, and many avenues of IT. Some like photography, writing, transcription, or telephone support might not be as technical.

Stable internet connections tend to be critical for digital nomads.

Many hotels that are in or around National Parks in the Western states will hire staff for housekeeping, front desk, kitchen and retail positions for 3-4 months of the year, and many will even provide basic housing if needed.

Ski Resorts are another frequent location that needs a lot of temporary works and doesn't have a lot of preexisting requirements. They'll need a lot of staff for the ski season and will often provide accommodation, giving the nomad a chance to settle down for a few months and earn some money before bouncing onto their next adventure.
