The world is quickly suburbanizing, but new technologies can help reduce the costs of that transition.

Financial service jobs are growing at a faster rate in the Sun Belt than in traditional financial powerhouses like NYC. Telework and high quality of life at a cheaper cost of living are drawing workers to new places.

A start-up wants cities to incentivize commuters to travel in off-peak times, i.e., to pay employees to show up late to work. That sounds nice, but there’s a better option.

67 percent of employers now allow their employees to work from home occasionally, up from just 50 percent in 2008. Telework is picking up steam, and that’s good news for employers, employees, and the planet.

A new set of fuel standards unveiled by the Obama administration earlier this week will cut down on auto-related air pollution, but industry groups warn that they’ll also raise gas prices. There’s a better solution here: telework.

Telecommuting is on the rise, but primarily for those 50 and older. We need to find ways to share the flexibility teleworking allows with the younger generation.

Research suggests that telework can not only save companies money and cut out workers’ commutes, but it can also raise productivity. Bottom line: telework is good for the bottom line.
