‘Telecommuting: The Risks and Rewards’ – ‘Mashable’

Sam Laird says, “Telecommuting is on the rise. As more jobs rely on just an Internet connection, companies look to stay nimble. Workers continue striving for balance in life, and simply working from home has become an increasingly viable option for both employers and employees.

By some estimates, a full fifth of the global tech workforce telecommutes at least occasionally, and 84% of that group does so at least once per month. One projection has up to 30% of the overall American workforce telecommuting by 2019″.
