In response to the article on why telecommuting is not on top of green jobs, there are a couple of reasons that would provide more insight into the discussion. First is adaptation. Many companies are slow to adapt to change which is why so many companies have taken a serious hit financially at the beginning of this recession. Corporations must be able to adapt to their environment to survive good and bad periods. Second is the lack of information and education Companies the offer work-at-home jobs need to not only provide information on the benefits of working at home but there has to be more significant push to small and large companies to learn more about having some employees work from home. The government must also be involved in the educational aspect of working from home to provide more information and persuading large corporations, who use alot of energy, to begin the process to reduce their work for by having a certain percentage of employees who are non-essential to work from home.

The green movement has gained alot of ground in the past few years and it will take time for many to understand the true value of environmental safety and awareness. As the economy continues to weaken, many small and large companies just might begin to understand the value of saving cost to their bottom in by pushing more of their employees out of their office and back into their homes.

Kasimu,

Thanks for sharing your insight on this topic. I concur with the lack of information about telecommuting jobs. Now that I have two online jobs, I realize that I didn’t have to endure those times in my life without employment.

These jobs were hidden for me. I know like to call them the invisible jobs. One solution in locating these hidden jobs is to conduct a job search on Indeed.com. Just type in “online jobs” plus your field of expertise, and you will see the postings.
