Ten Years Getting People off the Road with Telecommuting Jobs -- But We're Not Celebrating

Mundelein, Illinois (PRWEB) March 6, 2006 -- For ten years, the Telecommuting Jobs job search site (Telecommuting Jobs) has been hard at work helping to build the Work at Home Workforce. Ten years providing hand-screened jobs for serious TeleCommuters. Ten years linking up thousands of employers with TeleCommuting talent they can trust away from the office.

Present full-time TeleCommuters alone now save approximately 4,439 million gallons of gas per year by not driving to work. But it's a drop in the bucket of billions of gallons of gasoline Americans burn each year (Data Source). Today's triple crises of runaway energy use -- funds funneled to terrorists from our gasoline dollars paid to foreign countries -- and global warming from auto pollution -- demand we can't wait another 10 years to put a lot more TeleCommuters to work.

We do need alternative sources of energy to counter these problems, but they take time to put to work. We don't have to wait for TeleCommuting to work -- it can happen now -- with the very next hire at most any company! TeleCommuting is something almost any information worker and employer can do right now. The technology to work away from the office and collaborate with bosses and fellow workers is up and running right now (see: Collaboration Tools).

How do we get more TeleCommuters hired? Push our public officials to offer incentives to businesses to hire more TeleCommuters. Public officials in Oregon and Virginia are already doing it (Data Source). And, with all that TeleCommuting can save, there's little excuse your public officials can't.

There are so many more TeleCommuting job benefits: less traffic, less highway casualties; fewer kids growing up without a parent at home; more job opportunities for workers with disabilities who have computer ability, but a hard time getting to an office;

There's a page on Telecommuting Jobs (PUSH for more TeleCommuting jobs) that will put together an email in minutes for you and send it to public officials to prompt them to offer tax incentives to business to hire more TeleCommuters. Together with the office space cost savings business realizes by hiring TeleCommuters, it can influence a lot more jobs for the growing number of people anxious to work at home.

Park a lot of cars. Park the terrorist funding machine. Park the pollutants. Push for more TeleCommuting jobs. Then we can celebrate.
