Number of Teleworkers Expected to Increase
April 24, 2011
2011, A forecast from TechCast at George Washington University said that: ‘While a recent survey found that less than 4 % of U.S. private sector workers actually work from home, that figure could reach as high as 30 % by 2019′.
Gartner: ‘this drive to mobility will become a $1 trillion market in the next four years.’ And that ‘within this decade, most, if not all workers will be mobile to some degree.’
40 percent of the workforce, representing 33 million Americans, has jobs that can be performed remotely either part time or full time.
TelCoa’s 2008 recommendation to members was also that at least: 40% of an organization’s workforce (whose jobs can be performed from home) should be full-time Work@Home™ employees.

I would absolutely accept that deal!
Its like you read my mind! You seem to know a lot about this, like you wrote the book in it or something. I think that you can do with a few pics to drive the message home a bit, but other than that, this is fantastic blog. A great read. I will certainly be back.
Regarding the 4% of private sector workers that work from home, is that full time or part time?
Generally, these studies decide on the criteria they will use to define a teleworker – anywhere from 1 day a month to full time. I know this is a wide spread, but it is what it is.
That being said, i would have to assume that it is a mix of full and part time teleworkers.
So I quite simply point out you actually establish a few excellent points and I will submit a variety of thoughts to add to soon
We look forward to input from you all.
Do you have the original article from Gartner with that saying by chance?
Can’t find the full article, but try this:http://www.visagemobile.com/news/news/mobile-strategy-and-policy-news/5437/gartner-mobility-market-will-reach-1-trillion-by-2014/
