Virtual Vocations Releases 2015 Year-End Telecommuting Statistical Data Report
Tucson, Arizona (PRWEB) January 08, 2016 -- To help job seekers find careers and identify states that offer the strongest telecommuting job opportunities in the coming year, today Virtual Vocations released their 2015 Year-End Report that highlights key statistical findings and data on telecommuting trends from 2015.
Telecommuting continues to grow in popularity as more people demand the work-life balance that working remotely offers. The benefits associated with remote work arrangements are abundant for everyone from recent college grads to retirees. Telecommuting increases employee satisfaction, improves productivity, reduces commuting time and expenses, and provides precious free time to spend with family and friends.
"Every year, we add more telecommuting job opportunities to our database. Just a few years ago, we were excited when we found 500 new job leads a week; today, we enter more than 500 new leads a day,” said Laura Spawn, Founder and CEO of Virtual Vocations, the largest and most comprehensive online database of telecommute-only jobs. “While our research from last year offers excellent insight into which careers and states will offer the best telecommuting opportunities in 2016, it’s important to remember telecommuting lends itself to just about any career you can think of, including data entry, administrative, customer service and writing jobs.”
The Virtual Vocations research team hand-screened over 500,000 telecommute jobs last year and has poured over the data to help identify careers and states with the most growth potential in 2016.
