Want to work from home? These companies are hiring
Does working from home sound like a dream come true? It's easier than ever before to make that dream a reality.
According to FlexJobs, telecommuting has grown 103 percent since 2005. That is good news for workers, since up to 90 percent of Americans say they would like to work from home at least part time.
