Working at home (also known as telecommuting) is still very much the exception rather than the rule in the United States, according to a recent Gallup poll. Even though more workers say they telecommute now than in previous years, its growth has levelled off considerably.
Working at home is most common among high-income adults with white-collar jobs or a college education. Across America's workforce, 72 percent of employed adults stated that they work no days at home in a typical month. 9 percent of people manage to work from home at least one to two days each month while 8 percent telecommute 3 to 5 days.
