I wonder how many of you reading this post really believe working from home is an honest day’s work. After all, when you went to work you had to spend valuable time commuting and budgeting a good portion of your salary for work clothes. In the last years of my career, I get to wear my PJs all day and not put on a stitch of makeup. Yet, my workdays are more productive than ever before.

I don’t think my productivity has anything to do with discipline. It has everything to do with commitment and responsibility. The fact that the digital age has given me the ability to work remotely only means that I have more hours to meet my many goals. That’s important to me considering I have taken on more responsibility.

FlexJobs, the leading site for job searchers seeking ideal work-life balance, now says that 50% of professionals in the United States have jobs that can be performed from home. In fact, the most recent Census findings claim that the number of people who work out of their homes has increased from 9.5 million in 1999 to 13.4 million in 2010.

FlexJobs has determined the top 100 companies with the most work-from-home opportunities over the course of the past year.

Mashable, the tech news site, spells it all out.
