Earn It at Home, Spend It From Home

Working from home once meant cutting yourself off from almost all the resources of the office. As a result, people with office jobs seldom did it. The rise of home computers and e-mail began to change that in the 1990s. As of 1995, a Gallup poll found that 9 percent of Americans had ever telecommuted ("that is, worked from home using a computer to communicate for your job"). When they asked again in 2006 that had jumped to 32 percent; in 2015 it was 37 percent.

Most of those people reported working from home only a few days a month, which is what I do.1472210574296 But the percentage of American workers toiling primarily from home has been rising too (if far less less rapidly), according to the Census Bureau:1472222603032
