| When the average price of gasoline in the United States hit $3.18 in May, it was the highest price ever recorded, even when adjusted for inflation, according to the Lundberg Survey of thousands of service stations across the nation. Those record prices helped push more than a few employees to find alternative ways of working, according to Rose Stanley of WorldAtWork, an association for human resource professionals based in Scottsdale, Arizona. Stanley knows about this firsthand. Having arranged to work at home one day a week for the past year, she budgeted $50 for commuting the other four days. “But it was costing me $75 a week.” So six weeks ago, she says, she asked if she could work at home a second day each week. “I’m back down to within my budget.” |  |
