With budgets tight and the residential real estate marketing still in a funk, both candidates and employers are reluctant to incur relocation costs<\/a> to fill a job opening. When they can\u2019t find local talent, employers sometimes allow new hires to telecommute.<\/p>\n

In fact, a forecast from TechCast at George Washington University<\/a> said that:\u00a0While a recent survey found that less than 4 percent of U.S. private sector workers actually work from home, that figure could reach as high as 30 percent by 2019.<\/p>\n
