A Work-from-Home Argument Your Boss Can't Refuse

More and more employers are getting on board

Today, with the all possibilities created by virtual networking and remote technology, many bosses finally "get it." Here's some more encouraging news for potential telecommuters:
*42% of U.S. employers allowed staff to work remotely in 2008 -- up from just 30% in 2007. (WorldatWork 2008 survey of 2,288 U.S. employers)
*The number of Americans who worked from home or remotely at least one day per month for their employer ("employee telecommuters") increased from approximately 12.4 million in 2006 to17.2 million in 2008. A 39% two-year increase and 74% increase since 2005. (WorldatWork Telework Trendlines, 2009)
