Home Office FactsProminent research firm International Data Corp. (IDC) is one of the best sources for reliable data on the work-at-home market. As early as 1999, IDC reported 40.2 million home working households in the U.S.
(Note: Because some households have more than one homeworker, households can belong in more than one category.) About fifty percent of home offices are headed by males and half by females. The average age of a home business owner is 43, and about half of them have children under 18. However, according to a study by the National Foundation for Women Business Owners, women who work from home are no more likely to have children under 18 than those who work elsewhere. The work-at-home market is affluent and educated. According to IDC, home business owners are more likely to have college and postgraduate degrees. The average income for home office households is $59,000, versus $45,000 for total households. Here at NMF, we’ve interviewed, met, received letters from, and spoken with literally thousands of home business owners. Their chief concerns are growing their businesses and enhancing their quality of life. To us, that adds up to success – at work and in life. It’s our mission to support home-business owners and all entrepreneurs in achieving the success they strive for. |
