Besides the ability to work in your PJs and take kitten or puppy breaks, telecommuting allows workers to save on commuting costs and time, and perhaps better handle the work-life balance, CNN notes. Companies can benefit, too, saving money by cutting down on office space and by attracting and keeping good workers. FlexJobs looked at job postings in its own database of 47,000 companies to find the ones with the most telecommuting gigs. These 10 companies offered the most full-time positions from home over the past year:
- UnitedHealth Group
- Dell
- US Department of Agriculture
- Xerox
- Humana
- IBM
- CyberCoders
- SAP
- Salesforce
- IT Pros

these "hermit-friendly" cities.)
