From Yahoo.com, "West Corporation, a leading provider of outsourced communication solutions, today announced the results of an internal study showing the tremendous positive environmental impact of its home agent solution, West at Home, and the overall industry-wide benefit of home-based agents."
"According to the results of the study, West's home-based employees prevented an estimated 17,000 metric tons of air pollution from reaching the earth's atmosphere in 2007. By eliminating the need for lengthy commutes to the office, West at Home agents also reduced gasoline consumption by more than 2 million gallons and saved approximately $22.9 million in commuting expenses."
"Total industry estimates are staggering, when considering the growth estimates from Interactive Data Corporation's (IDC) report, Home-Based Agent 2005-2010 Forecast and Analysis: Converging Economic Forces to Drive the Expansion of Homeshoring in the United States. According to the report, there were an estimated 112,000 home-based agents in 2006 across the United States and that number was projected to grow to approximately 300,000 by 2010."
