Are people actually earning $8-$30 an hour working from the comfort of their home? You may be amazed to learn that well over 100,000 Americans work from home.

The number of folks working from home in the US is still considerably modest but increasing quickly. Although numerous companies are closing their doors, phasing out occupations, or announcing employment halts, there are many innovative companies that are successfully reducing costs by embracing teleworking business models.

What exactly is teleworking?

Telecommuting is when an employee or independent contractor works from home on a computer and or telephone system that is connected to the main network of the company.

Statistics show telecommuters are more productive, healthy, happy, and enjoy a higher quality of life. Companies that hire telecommuters sustain lower turnovers, better efficiency, higher productivity, higher profits, and improved customer satisfaction. Furthermore, telecommuting is the green thing to do environmentally friendly, as it cuts down on highway over-crowding, fuel usage, and vehicular air pollution.

What do telecommuters do?
