Report Shows Willingness to Take a Pay Cut to Work from Home
May 12, 2011
Dice, “the career hub for tech™”, has come out with a report titled Remote Control.
In this report they say “Less than one percent or 500 of the total jobs posted on Dice mention telecommuting as an option. Yet, more than one-third of technology professionals said they’d cut their salary by up to 10 percent in exchange for telecommuting full-time. What’s remarkable is that even after two years of flattish compensation, technology professionals are
willing to sacrifice $7,800 on average to work from home.

Gas Prices Drive More Innovation
March 20, 2011
TelCoa’s research has revealed the ‘average commuting motorist’ spends 17% of his/her take home pay getting to and from their centralized place of employment. But that was before the price of gasoline approached $4 per gallon. Many throughout the nation are re-discovering the ‘cost avoidance’ of telework or working from their homes as more and more motorists are trying to think of ways to spend less time behind the wheel.
One significant way to reduce fuel consumption is to reduce the number of trips we make to and from work.
We welcome your thoughts and comments on this.
