Introduction

Of the 139,786,639 working individuals in the US, 6,046,385 or about 4.33% of that population work at home according to the 2013 American Communities Survey. The graphic below, breaks that out by state and county to show you where people call the office, home. From what we can see, the counties with the largest proportion of these workers are small rural counties, but when you also look at some of the larger urban counties you can see some uptick in the outlying areas as well.

A Note for Mobile Users How to integrate mobile users in the visualization realm continues to be an issue for users and creators. At this current time we are only publishing desktop ready versions of our graphics. That doesn’t mean we don’t want you to see them. We just hope that you use the sharing features below to facebook, tweet, or email yourself the link so you can enjoy the visualization later.
