UK: More People Than Ever Looking to Work from Home

(From BUSINESS WIRE) -- The recession has taken its toll on millions of families across the UK, but the Brits are nothing if not resourceful, and according to Vivastreet.co.uk, a free classifieds website, more people than ever are turning to working from home, either to boost their salaries, replace lost income or keep on top of their debts.

Vivastreet.co.uk figures show that, last year, the number of people searching for work they could carry out in their own homes increased by 142% compared to 2008. This trend is expected to continue this year, as people look for alternative ways to bring in some additional income.

In fact, this year more than 200,000 people have already visited the Work from Home (http://jobs.vivastreet.co.uk/mlm) section of the website, and 62% more people searched for 'work from home' jobs last month than did in December 2009. Traffic levels in January 2010 were also a staggering 412% higher than traffic levels in January 2009.
