Working from home is working - The Boston Globe

Working from home is working - The Boston Globe: "e than 30 years after the lifestyle began inching into corporate culture, there were almost 14 million Americans telecommuting at least part time in 2004, and an additional 7 million running businesses from home, according to the Labor Department. Human resources experts believe the number will continue to climb because more workers are demanding flexibility, and because high-speed Internet connections make telecommuting easier than ever.
In 2005, 44 percent of US companies offered at least some telecommuting options, according to a survey of 1,043 large employers by Mercer Human Resources Consulting."
