If I'm not mistaken, the service sector has long been the fastest growing employment sector. A lot of those jobs are unsuitable for home employment. In fact, quite the opposite. More and More services are being delivered in the client's home rather than the traditional location. This varies from home health care to physician house calls to home delivery of restaurant meals, hair cuts, and other personal services.
The client or patient gets to stay at home, saving time, fuel and money. The service provider must travel to many homes, at greater expenditure of time, fuel and money. (Often, the provider's real office is their car.) Does anybody know if these home services provide a net savings in gas, time, and money--or a net increase?
