Work at Home Updates

A work at home job is one that is usually held a minimum of once per week and is consider to be eventually a primary job. Some people currently work every single day and now make a full time living while working at home.

The following is some updates/reports. It just gives you an idea of what real life work at home activity looks like. It gives you a guide to work with.

Some Reports

Some of the statistics in this section are quite told-from the 1990 census. However, it can give you an idea of how the percentages of people who did work in this capacity increased over the past two decades.

According to 1990 Census reports about 60% of individuals who work at home are not explicitly paid for it. Furthermore of the 40% of people who are compensated for their work at home many of them worked fewer than 8 hours per week.

Only about 14.5% of the people who did work at home worked 35 hours a week or more. Therefore, during these decades this kind of employment was basically considered a part time income.

That is, unless someone actually did make it big. That is, in the event someone actually made it big on one of those scam business opportunities.

However, it should be noted that as far as home businesses are concerned they are not all scams. You can make a very lucrative and steady part time or full time income. You could in the 1990s and you can now.

However, it is a matter of knowing what opportunities you should nail when. It helps if there has been a fair amount of test marketing or research done on opportunities. This would give you a clearer indication of how well you would do if you were to pursue a certain opportunity.

Other Updates

People who work at home are often self-employed and run their own home-based business. It is estimated that more than half of home-based business owners are under-insured.

The independent insurance agents of America (IIAA) say nearly 40% of those they surveyed are uninsured. If a person is insured a typical homeowners policy usually only covers damages up to $2,500, and a homeowner policy will not cover all damages.

For instance, if a delivery person comes to the door it may not cover all accidents. One case in point is the example of the delivery person that slips and falls when delivering a package.
