BizTech recently did a spolight on teleworking.  Our very own Bill Gerber was quoted in the article for the benefit of working from home.

By the Numbers
17.2 million: The number of Americans who teleworked at least one day per month in 2008, a 39 percent jump over the 12.4 million who teleworked in 2006

50 million: The number of Americans who hold jobs that could be performed via telework; if all did so at least half of the workweek, the savings would include 12 billion gallons of fuel and 101 metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions

72%: The percentage of employees who say flexible work arrangements would cause them to choose one job over another, with 37 percent specifically citing telework

80%: Percentage of employees who consider telework a perk; 36 percent say they would prefer the opportunity to telework in lieu of a raise

$2,000: The average annual savings in commuting costs for a U.S. worker who teleworks one day a week

46%: The percentage of companies with alternative work programs that credit telework with reducing turnover
