"The numbers come from a national survey of 700,000 households, conducted in conjunction with the 2000 Census, and touch on a vast array of topics, from housing costs to occupations and commuting patterns...The work-at-home population has always been largest in rural states, but it dropped over the decade in such places as South Dakota, Iowa and Nebraska, where the farm economy is shrinking. Numbers rose most sharply in Washington state, Hawaii, Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, Delaware and the District."
