Holy Gas Prices! Time To Find a Job Working From Home?

Some analytical industry trackers are now suggesting gas prices may go to $10 per gallon! Yes, you read that correctly, and yes I wrote it correctly. Don't believe it? Go check out - this link.

We are all starting to see the impact of already too high, and continuously increasing gas prices on our economy. Just look at the airline industry as a whole. What a mess, at best. Then look at our grocery prices. Another mess in the making. All of this is causing many to re-evaluate our home budgets, which in turn is causing a re-evaluation of our jobs and income.

Is it time for a second job for many? Or is it time to find a better paying, and more importantly - closer to home job? What about a job that allows us to work from home? These are going to be great topics of discussion in the months to come.

What I would suggest to do if you are one of those laid back, comfortable and confident in your job individuals believing that climbing gas prices will not effect your financial situation is to research how these high costs will impact the company you work for, both directly and indirectly. The energy costs may not directly impact the company you work for, but what about the customer base your company relies on for it's primary source of revenue?

This is not a time to be over-confident and more of a time to be prepared!

JTL Services is working on a business model that will allow all of our recruiters to work from home. You see this happening in corporate America and can start to see it trickle down in to small business America as well.

What are your thoughts about working from home? Chime in and let us know.
