You have probably already viewed these sites but if you have not here are the links: http://www.networkworld.com/net.worker/research/quickstats.html http://www.allbusiness.com/telecommuting/3132006-1.html http://www.tjobs.com/ Most of my support work is done from my office where I support clients as far away as Florida, England and even once in Australia. As far as I am concerned the trend is growing rapidly as I have been very busy working through Toronto for Fujitsu, Soroc, Banctec, Getronics, Staples, McDonalds, Body Shop, Mariposa, Sony, Payless, CIBC, BMO, Nova Scotia, Dell etc etc... Just finished setting a Travel Agency up so their workers can just telecommute through a web phone system. There will be only 3 workers in the store front office, just to keep a profile. Once their web is stable they will be closing the office all together. I am current working on a large job that will see all the main servers moved out of over 1100 banks and replace with small cheap desktop type servers which are little more than Cyrix satellite terminals. All the work within the banks will be done via remote applications, hosted out of Toronto and many cases remote workers. Five years ago this would have been all out of the question. I predict that within 5 years most of us will just be remote workers using remote applications.

I'll be looking, but if you know a site that has this kind of information, a link would save me some research time. Thanks!
