This IDC study examines the current state of telecommuting in the United States, profiling telecommuters as well as the companies that employ them. Issues such as the amount of time spent telecommuting, the industries where telecommuters work, and the size of the firms for which they work are examined.

"IDC estimates that by the end of 2012, there will be nearly 10 million telecommuters in the United States - people who work at home three or more days a month," says Merle Sandler, research manager in the SMB and Home Office programs at IDC. "Although their number is no longer growing as quickly as it was in the past, telecommuters continue to represent an important opportunity for vendors of technology products and services. The range of telecommuting activity means that no single program or technology solution is likely to meet the needs of all telecommuters."
