Multiple jobholders were much more likely to work at home than were
single jobholders—39 percent to 19 percent.
Employed persons
with higher educational attainment were also much more likely to work at
home than those with lower levels of education, ranging from less than 6
percent of those with less than a high school diploma to 37 percent of
those with a bachelorfs degree and higher.

program. Note that the data in this article pertaining to educational
attainment refer to persons 25 years and over whereas the other data refer
to persons 15 years and over. To learn more, see "American Time Use
