Telecommuting grows large in the US
You want to become a telecommuter, but you still hesitate. Well, I have got good news for you. You are not alone! I mean a lot of people have already made their mind to join the army of those who has an office job but work from home. It is not an advertisement, it is statistics.
In a word, the tendency is growing and the competition is getting pretty cutthroat. The figures talk for themselves: those who prefer flextime amount to 20 million throughout America and there is another 10 million who are independent contractors.
It has been established that Americans are hopeful about the benefits that telecommute jobs can bring about, the top three of which being
- a greater future income,
- more flexible working hours
- and juste milieu between work and family, when they feel they are not strangers to their own family after they return from work in the evening.
The report published by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce reads that at least one in six Americans telecommute once a week. As much as 70 per cent work for companies and the rest claim to be self-employed.
The data included in the statistics is hard to analyze, because a great share of those polled combine telecommuting with a part-time or freelance job. People begin to use every arising opportunity to earn an extra income.
Among other brand names that can brag about attracting impressive workforce are Avon and Amway that account for 17 million of employees. The reason they are so popular is that they have a well-thought and proved practice of selling and customer service. If you want some additional cash you just need to join and adopt this scheme. No need to invent a bicycle or a PC, just walk the treaded path and collect the harvest. Well, why not if you want.
