Considering an estimated 70 percent of people working remotely at least once a week, working virtually is becoming more popular every year.1 You’ll find there are a ton of benefits to working remotely whether it’s for a full-time, part-time, or freelance position. For example, people can save money on gas and monthly insurance premiums because their commute time will be non-existent.
Working virtually can give you a better work-life balance by eliminating the commute from your day and provide flexibility that traditional in-house jobs cannot. To start working remotely, all you have to do is search for telecommuting job sites that post virtual opportunities.
