Diverse Telework Jobs Develop Slowly at Many Levels

Internet-based job growth in the Park is slow and diverse. The jobs range from highly skilled software engineering and money management to more general workforce jobs involving data entry for billing, medical records and distributed call center operations. Many of these jobs are part-time, but they are not seasonal. In towns where internet service appears, slowly tele-workers show up in the population. There is no "big bang" new employer, so it is harder to see and count. But in many towns, 10 news jobs each year is a lot. The diversity of the work means it is more stable than a single major employer.
