This report<\/a> doesn’t surprise me… more people are choosing to work at home because gas prices keep going up. I know that I consider it one of the blessings of working at home that I know I don’t have to buy as much gas.<\/p>\n

Some interesting quotes:<\/p>\n

About 36 percent of telecommuting customer service agents say gas prices have driven their decision to work at home, according to a new survey of nearly 2,000 at-home call center agents by LiveOps, which contracts with call center agents.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

offering telecommuting options is among the top five approaches being used by companies to help employees deal with gas prices.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Sun Microsystems has seen an increase in employees interested in a flexible work program that lets them work anywhere, including from home. More than 13,000 of Sun’s employees work from home up to two days a week, and about 2,000 work from home more than three days a week. It saves employees an average of two hours a week in commute time.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I’ve been saying for a long time that telecommuting is a great option with gas prices going up. I started my section on saving gas<\/a> a year or two ago (I forget which), when gas prices weren’t nearly so high as they are now. Admittedly it’s a rather obvious solution, but it’s good to see businesses taking the option more seriously.<\/p>\n

I guess it’s probably time to do some more research on the topic to freshen things up there. No, I’m not going to add anything on gas pills or stuff like that; I haven’t been convinced by any of them and most are freshened up versions of old scams.<\/p>\n
