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.

While the number of people telecommuting is somewhat low, the good news is, its growing. As people become more aware of telecommuting jobs and as more companies embrace the business model, the opportunities will continue to grow.

What exactly is teleworking?

Teleworking is when an employee or self-employed person, does work from their house on a computer and/or telephone system that is linked to the primary network of the company/employer.

Research indicates that folks that work from home are much more productive, have lower stress levels, are less likely to call off due to illness, and enjoy a higher quality of life. Accordingly, businesses that hire people to work from home are able to decrease turnovers, step-up efficiency, step-up productivity, step-up profits, and step-up customer satisfaction. Furthermore, teleworking is environmentally friendly, as it reduces highway congestion, fuel use, and vehicular air pollution.
