Working From Home Resource Blog

A bill was passed in June 2008 that will allow some government employees to telecommute. On June 3, 2008, the House passed H.R. 4106, the Telework Improvements Act of 2008. The bill would require Federal agencies to establish and implement policies regarding telecommuting.

This is the start of corporate America moving toward a flexible work environment. Right now about 53% of Americans work from home and the numbers are growing at a rapid rate. I know for some people telecommuting seems like just a dream, but mark my words, in the next five years I think it will be closer to 80% of Americans working from the comfort of their own homes.

With most of the textile and mill type jobs being moved overseas, most jobs now preformed in the US are office type jobs, that can be done from any computer connected to the internet. Not to mention all the software now available to monitor employees remotely. Even the “control freak” CEO can relax without having employees in eye view.

Companies are also realizing that they can save overhead by not maintaining a building to house employees 5 days a week. They can even shut down the office and go home themselves. No more paying vendors to supply their office with things like coffee, cups, paper towels, housekeeping, utility bills, and so much more.

So keep watching the post here. I will be updating you of new companies who have stepped over into the telecommuting world as I get the information.

Customer service is the most popular type of job that you can do from home. Most
companies use a call center to have the calls routed to you through VOIP. All of the
companies that require you to speak to customers over the telephone, require that you have
a quiet home office environment and a headset, which you have to purchase yourself.

The work at home jobs listed on our website all are legitimate companies, that do not charge a fee to work
for them. A few may require that you become bonded or pay for a background check,
because you are handling sensitive customer information, such as credit card information and
you are working at home, so they need to know that you are trustworthy.

You can make anywhere from $5.00 - $15.00 an hour working from home as a Customer
Service Rep.
