So many of us wish we could work from home. But with work-from-home scams taking the top spot for Internet crimes in 2011, we're understandably wary of such offers.

Fortunately, there's a legitimate resource for such opportunities: FlexJobs, an online job listings board for telecommuting, flexible schedule, part-time and freelance jobs.

Over the last year, the service saw a 26 percent increase in the number of jobs posted on its site, with companies like Amazon, Kaplan , First Data , and Convergys posting the highest number of remote jobs. Newcomers to the list include Nationwide Insurance and CIGNA, while others such as ADP and CVS Caremark , also appeared on the 2014 list.

“The positive impact remote work options can have on a company’s bottom line and culture is increasingly being acknowledged by smart employers. The organizations on this list are among those leading the charge to show that remote work options are a part of successful 21st century workplaces," says Sara Sutton Fell, founder and CEO of FlexJobs.
