Research firm Sperling’s BestPlaces and Intel Corporation have conducted a research: Best US Cities for Teleworking. Initially I should show the difference: telecommuting and teleworking.
Teleworking is a sort of telecommuting which goes beyond simply allowing employees to work from home or an alternative location a couple of days a week. Instead it enables them to work at any time or place that allows them to successfully complete their work.
How are the areas ranked?
Eighty of the largest metropolitan areas in the US were included in this study of the “Best Places for Teleworking.” To create the rankings, Sperling’s BestPlaces evaluated each area’s factors in the categories of commuting, office-based workforce, internet infrastructure, extreme climate and natural hazards. The climate category included the annual number of days with heavy snow, rain and ice which may disrupt a commute. The natural hazards category measured the risk from hurricanes, earthquakes and tornadoes.

1. Cover letter has to answer the employer needs.
2. Don’t send much unnecessary info. Nobody will read your long messages.

One of the reasons telecommuting is popular word of the recent months is gas prices. They go up and up. It makes companies (including small and mid businesses) search for new ways to be competitive and remain in business. Telework is a good move in this situation.
Some facts about telecommuting that will no doubt surprise you (they did surprise me):
There are 20-million telecommuters in the United States. To tell the truth, it is hard to believe it, but it is official stats.
The average commuter drives 32 miles a day, roundtrip for work, or 8,000 miles a year. Do you see how much companies can save just on gas? It is amazing.
The number of workers telecommuting in Tampa Bay increased from 1 percent to 9 percent from 2001 to 2005. It says that within a four year span the number of teleworkers increased 10 times. And I guess it is true for the entire country.
Fourteen percent of companies in Pinellas and Hillsborough counties offer telework options. It is a sample of a local telecommuting scene, but I think this number reflects the entire country situation. Yes, telecommuting does provide a number of advantages to employers and employees, but not every kind of business fits for telework.
