More Americans Work From Home
17.2 million Americans worked from home at least one day a month in 2008, according to a recent survey by WorldatWork. That's an increase of 39% over 2006 and 74% over 2005.
But while occasional telecommuting has increased, the percentage of telecommuters who do so regularly has declined. 5% fewer telecommuters worked from home at least once a week in 2008 than in 2006. During the same period, the percentage of telecommuters who worked from home almost every day dropped by 11%.
