Work-Life Balance And Remote Working

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 coworking 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.
