One area that wasn’t included in this report is which cities are best for telecommuting or working from home. Many moms want a work-life balance that allows them to both work and spend time with their kids. Things like access to co-working spaces would be helpful to see in future infographics.
Some cities are more telecommuting friendly than others. For example, many employers in Seattle offer a remote working possibility. Another possible solution is starting a small home business or freelancing. Starting a photography business or signing up to be a freelance writer at vip-writers.com are both great options.
