The concept of working from home has taken a beating during the Great Recession, raising questions about companies’ ability to make the most of the wired world. The setback also throws a bit of cold water on the hopes of mature workers hoping to phase into retirement.
The number of folks working from home or another location outside the office at least one day a month was 26.2 million at the end of last year, down from 33.7 million two years earlier, according to a WorldatWork special report.

I have worked at home while running regional activities for small but National companies. You have to work harder since there is no staff but it can be effective. In contrast, there are advocates of teleworking for large companies and even Government operations. The advocates (usually employees) argue that their job isn't critical enough to warrant their going to an office everyday. I always counter that by asking "Why not move it to India then?".
You need to be careful what you wish for these days.
i have worked from home for the past 6 years. the money is excellent. i'm busier now than ever before and i worked "out of the home" full-time for 40 years.
i do internet business consulting as well. the legit businesses are there; you just need to do your homework.
slacker; not hardly....
