Local Employers Post 100s Of Work-At-Home Jobs That Pay $50K Or More

BY MARC TORRENCE:

Sure, working from home has its perks, but can it really pay that well?

The answer is a resounding ”yes.”

According to GlobalWorkPlaceAnalytics, as of 2012, 2.6 percent of the U.S. workforce cited their home as the place where they do most of their work. That was a nearly 80 percent growth from 2005.

Even more people are doing at least some of their work from home.

According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, 23 percent of employed persons did part or all of their work from home. That’s up from 2003 when just 19 percent reported doing some or all of their work from home.

And 39.1 percent of workers over 25 with a bachelor’s degree do some or all of their work from home.

Here are six work-from-home jobs advertised in the Philadelphia region on the Patch Jobs Board:
