The likelihood of working at home varies greatly by occupation. This is not surprising, since some jobs are more readily done away from the employer workplace than others. Almost 30 percent of workers in management, professional, and related occupations reported working at home in a recent survey. Nearly two-thirds of persons who usually worked at home were employed in these occupations. About 1 in 5 sales workers usually worked at home. From an industry perspective, workers employed in professional and business services, in financial activities, and in education and health services were among the most likely to work at home.
