Work at Home: Large self employment force.

work1.jpgHere is some interesting news for all of those professionals who work at home.  A recent study recently confirmed that an astonishing twenty percent of all jobs in America are self employment jobs, and out of these, nearly one third are start up companies by people who are over fifty years old. This means that there are a large amount of people who are reaching their retirement age and then setting off on their own. This is really a remarkable development if you think about it.

Just twenty years ago, these numbers would be significantly different because many people, once they reached retirement age, were content to live out the rest of their days in their home without having to work. The state of the economy and the high cost of living has changed all that and many people feel compelled to remain in the American work force long after they are retired. There are many things to consider if this is your current condition. First of all, there is the cost of starting up a new business. You will incur a lot of expenditures that you may have not foreseen and you must be able to handle these costs without encroaching on your savings. Come back to the work at home blog tomorrow for more information.
