A relatively large number of people in Venice telecommute to their jobs. Overall, about 20.59% of the workforce works from home.

These workers are often telecommuters who work in knowledge-based, white-collar professions. For example, Silicon Valley has large numbers of people who telecommute. Other at-home workers may be self-employed people who operate small businesses out of their homes.
