Technology has made it easier for companies to allow people to work from home. With tools like Slack and videoconferencing, and the ubiquity of smartphones, telecommuting has become more viable and easier to manage.

Accordingly, the number of people who work remotely in the U.S. grew dramatically between 2005 and 2017, according to an analysis of the American Community Survey (ACS) by research firm Global Workplace Analytics and the job-search website FlexJobs. The ACS, which contains the most current U.S. government data available, showed the number of remote workers increased by 159% between 2005 and 2017.
