Women today are being provided with more opportunities to stay at home with their children and work without leaving their home. In the United States alone In 2010, 4.2 million more people worked at home than a decade before, according to the US Census Bureau. Some of these work at home opportunities include telecommuting, selling products or services in your local area and on the internet.
