"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.
