Work performed from a person's own home. These can be either on an employed or freelance basis and offer the kind of flexibility that allows more time with family. Always be on the lookout for scams when applying for home based positions. These jobs are often considered by WAHMs (work at home moms), and people looking for a second income stream.

Another version of work at home is “telecommuting”, working online, rather than in an office. This is an emerging job market, as employers cut costs by hiring people who provide their own resources for work.
