Telecommuters are a relatively large percentage of the workforce: 18.97% of people work from home.

Other at-home workers may be self-employed people who operate small businesses out of their homes.
Oregon is a good choice for families with children because of several factors. Many other families with children live here, making it a place where both parents and children are more likely to develop social ties with other families.

Many people own their own single-family homes, providing areas for children to play and stability in the community. Finally, Oregon’s overall crime rate is lower than average for the country.
