Income at Home USA

With the magic of instant communication, sometimes it really can feel like you are in two places at once. The phenomena of technology have opened up a whole new dimension to modern employment. We can work from home, or “telecommute,” with equal efficacy of on-site work, plus several additional benefits.

Personal

A work-at-home job fosters independence and an important type of liberation. There are many online job opportunities that let you work completely independently, without a boss at all. Even if you are employed by a superior, you are still claiming your individuality and confidence by working on your own terms, without a boss “supervising” you by looking over your shoulder and clocking your hours. You make your own schedule. This means less time with a boss breathing down your neck from 9 to 5 and more time with your family.

Health

There are both psychological and physical improvements to be expected when you start working at home. There have been studies that suggest that people who work at home develop healthier lifestyles with regard to nutrition, exercise, and sleep. Plus, if you normally travel by public transit, you significantly lower your exposure to germs and the risk of contracting infections. Furthermore, when you do get sick, you can sleep in or take time off without penalty, as long as you get your work done by the deadline. This is also an advantage to your productivity, because you can effectively allot your time to focus on your health and return to your work in full force.

When you can establish your own schedule and get work done on your own terms, productivity increases, as does your mental health. Your home is much less stressful and distracting than an office environment. Not to mention, all the physical health benefits mentioned above will serve your mental health as well. People with specific psychological concerns such as social anxiety or people who are simply introverted by nature are particularly well suited to online jobs.

Economic and Environmental Benefits

Businesses that hire off-site employees save money on office space and materials. This is beneficial for the job market at large, but it also means that they are more likely to compensate you for your internet and/or phone expenses, which also serve personal needs.

Of course working at home saves you a commute, which is desirable for a number of reasons. There is the simple convenience and comfort of your own home, and there is the money you save on gas or public transportation. If you do normally drive to work, by switching to home-based jobyou are also reducing your carbon footprint. If you are someone looking to do your part for the environment, working at home is definitely something to consider.

Location

When geography is no longer a barrier, the pool of job openings widens exponentially. Anyone looking for a full time off-site job does not have to worry about relocating his or her residence and family or limiting the job search to employers close by. On the Internet, everything is close by—a click away! And “work from home” jobs don't just meanworking from home. How about a “work on the beach” job? As long as you get the job done professionally and by the deadline, you can work from anywhere!
