Tucson, AZ (PRWEB) September 24, 2016 -- To create their list of the “25 Best Telecommute Jobs of 2016,” Virtual Vocations’ staff examined their own data as well as statistics from the U.S. Department of Labor’s Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) and PayScale—an online storehouse of salary data and surveys updated in real-time.
Laura Spawn, CEO and co-founder of Virtual Vocations said regarding the list, "Combing through over a half million jobs each year gives us a unique perspective when it comes to identifying telecommute positions that are in highest demand, as well as those that are most sought after by job seekers, and we are excited to share our findings with those interested in telecommuting."
Methodology
-Generating Virtual Vocations’ “Best Of” telecommute jobs list for 2016 involved the following three-fold data analytics process:
