A new survey of Connecticut workers conducted for the state Department of Transportation’s Telecommute Connecticut program shows dramatic growth in telecommuting in the past five years. “We are totally thrilled with the results. The numbers we are seeing are things we were hoping for but couldn’t confirm until the survey,” said Jean T. Stimolo, program manager for Telecommute Connecticut. More than 158,250 Connecticut workers telecommute — work from home — at least one day a month, many of them far more often than that. The number is up 86 percent since a similar study five years ago using a more narrow definition of telecommuter. The state’s total employment at the time of the latest study was 1,758,400. |
