Telecommuting News and Views from the Pink Furry Slippers

WorldAtWork reports telecommuting jobs are up 40% in just one year! The average American home has grown by 400 square feet to around 2.434 square feet, and the average retirement age has shifted by 4 years-- not sure if that is attributed to each 100 square feet of the new home, or the cost of health insurance making it too risky to retire.. Oh my gosh, you gotta work now because its BETTER for your health?? Say it ain't so, Joe!!
