And with technology where it is today — and likely to improve further — there is no reason that many jobs can’t be accomplished remotely from home.
In a poll of more than 1,500 IT workers, 37% of respondents said they
would be willing to take "slightly less" pay to telecommute full time.
The survey defined "slightly less" as up to a 10% reduction in salary.
But it’s not just IT workers that can do the job telecommuting. JetBlue is probably one of the most famous examples of providing a work from home job. Most of the airline reservations are made by home workers. Many other jobs are conducive to a remote environment as well.

*Increased productivity.
*Increased loyalty to the company.
*Fewer overhead costs to the company.
