Do More Women Work From Home?
When I first started working form home about 15 years ago the industry was not only very new, but the majority of us who did work from home, were women. Over the years I’ve seen the telecommuting industry come of age and I was under the impression that there were more men working from home. However, after reading a recent article which included a survey done by management consulting firm Zinnov, it was revealed that the majority of the virtual freelancers are women. Additionally a growing number of Fortune 500 companies are turning to the web to hire temporary workers. Companies such as Google, Accenture, Oracle, Microsoft, AOL, NBC and others are hiring more contract employees who work virtually. It’s also estimated that there are about 5 million freelance workers globally. With about 40 to 45 percent of the online talent pool located in the United States, while another 12 to 15 percent is living in India.
