FlexJobs just did a state-by-state analysis of telecommuting based on Census data and found that Colorado, Vermont, and Oregon continue to top the list, as they have for the past five years.
They’re not alone. FlexJobs found that 3.9 million U.S. employees (2.9% of the total U.S. workforce) work from home at least half of the time, up from 1.8 million in 2005.
States that have seen a rise in the number of people working from home are Wyoming (nearly 30% more since 2013), Rhode Island (19.4%), and Washington, D.C. (18.2%).
