The South Jersey Courier Post notes that a Work At Home Culture Thrives In Medford Lakes
It interests me greatly because it makes me wonder if the ability to work at home will recreate small, walkable towns or districts like this one. This is double the national rate for working at home. Could entrepreneurship like this offer the possibility for revitalizing communities?
What do you think?
McGinnis works from home for The Printing Fulfillment and Mailing Group, a printing, advertising and mailing company owned by her friends Kathleen and Chip Schindler, who live nearby. She is part of the borough’s growing culture of people who telecommute.
Borough officials say that culture has grown since the 2000 Census showed approximately 6 percent of the borough’s 2,276 working population do so from home. That’s about twice what the Census shows for other municipalities that don’t require mercantile licensing, including Cherry Hill and Evesham. It’s also greater than the state’s mark of 2.7 percent and the national estimate of 3.3 percent.
