Work at home industry – Part 3 – Reported average pay rates for work at home jobs
With that said in my prior post, many of the work at home jobs I write about seem to have an average pay range between $8 to $15 per hour. Based on research I’ve done, I find that this pay range seems to be consistent with little variance just based on the job descriptions for most work from home jobs. Most of you who have searched or will search for a home-based job have plenty of motivation, reasons for wanting to work from home, and skills to get the job done. When you think about all the expenses you’ll save by not working in an office, this pay rate may be great or not so bad depending on your professional experience. Due to those additional expenses you’ll save as a result of working at home versus an office, I’d have to guess and say that the savings on these expenses is worth an additional 20 - 25% to the pay rate, and that’s your actual pay rate if you were to do the same job an office setting. Not bad considering the employment expense savings and just as important, all the other benefits that come with a work at home job. See my future posts that outline the many benefits to working at home, as well as the very few disadvantages that come with it.
