THURSDAY, OCTOBER 7: WORK FROM HOME WEEK
Profile America -- Thursday, October 7th. All over the country, the same groan is being heard from millions of Americans each morning -- the alarm goes off, and they have to face the grind of commuting to work and then back home once again. However, a small but a growing group of people is not in that situation -- and that's why this is National Work From Home Week. Employers all over the country have found that technology -- and common sense -- have joined together so that a lot of needed work can be done without employees having to be physically present to do the job. There are more than 139 million workers in the U.S. Nationally, just over 4 percent do their jobs at home. Montana has the greatest proportion of people working from home -- just over 7 percent. You can find these and more facts about America from the U.S. Census Bureau, online at www.census.gov.
