Parents know that having children creates a need for more flexibility in their careers. This often involves reducing their hours to part-time or working from home. But which industries are best suited to this kind of adaptability?
FlexJobs, an online service that helps people find telecommuting, flexible schedule, part-time, and freelance jobs, has released a list of "The Top 50 Part-Time Work From Home Jobs."
According to the press release, FlexJobs compiled the list through data analysis of jobs that offered part-time and work from home options from September 2013 to July 2014 and by examining which job categories had the most open positions.
"We thought it was especially timely to view the different part-time options now that school is back in session," FlexJobs CEO Sara Sutton Fell noted. In a survey of working parents that the company conducted last year, 33 percent of respondents said that they were looking for jobs because their children were back in school, and 82 percent claimed that having a flexible job was "very important" to them.
While the survey focused on working parents, Fell added that other job seekers looking for more flexible work included "retirees, caregivers, military spouses, graduate students, people with disabilities, and any professionals interested in finding better work-life balance." So, for parents or anyone else seeking jobs that offer part-time and work from home options, here is the FlexJobs list.
