While teleworking rates remain highest among child care workers, writers/authors and sales representatives, the fastest growth has been seen in technology-related positions and others reliant on remote access to technical systems, according to recent research.
In its report, “The Incredible Disappearing Office: Making Telework Work,” The Conference Board finds that the advancements in home networking over the last decade have been accompanied by teleworking gains among a number of these technology-reliant professions, including insurance underwriters (4.5%, up 275% since 2001-2003) and computer software developers (6.1%, up 127%).
