If you can through their daily work or find a job or if you are toiling with a difficult boss or co-workers handling easy to forget to be grateful to work. There are significant changes in the workplace US workers and a real benefit for most people, not a decade ago.

Here are five positive developments. The workplace in recent years and the development of life of many people who have changed for the better

1. telework continue to grow. It was not so long ago, as a company, telework have allowed employees were a rarity. This has changed in the last decade in the last few years in particular, and. Thirty million Americans now work from home at least once a week, and Telework Research Network expects that number to increase dramatically in the coming years.

Taking into account all employee benefits, the offers telecommuting - no movement, save gas money, the possibility of working from home while you wait for the cable type - it is not surprising that a survey by the Society for Human Resource Management found a greater increase in the number of companies planning to offer on the rise for other benefits that teleworking.

00 but clock as workers each have combine new ways to work commitments and private life: 2. Flex time increases so that if you had an office job, you expect the same amount of hours as can each operate. 9: 00-17 increasingly tries, flexible working hours began increasingly accepted and even rooted in the American workplace.

Flexible working hours make it easier for workers to pick the kids up from school or daycare, attend classes, manage medical appointments or even to avoid peak hours. And employers have found that win a flexible schedule helps to keep officers, who always offers looking for flexibility in the workplace.

3. We are witnessing a move towards more paid leave illness. If you ever have jobs that paid sick days, you can take for granted. But in fact, no federal law requiring employers to pay offer sick leave, and some employers are not available. However, the picture on this change. We are experiencing a growing recognition that sick pay is good for workers and employers because they discouraged employees to come to work when they infect sick and others and improves the productivity and morale.

Connecticut, New York, San Francisco, Seattle, San Diego, the District of Columbia and a growing number of other jurisdictions have laws require in recent years paid sick days have passed, and dozens of states and cities are considered as paid sick leave suggestions on the most recent legislative session , President Barack Obama came to sick leave in his State of the Union address earlier this year to take.

4. The wage gap between men and women is declining. In general, men earn more than women for the same work. But things change, and saw how the latest generation play the workforce are some pretty intriguing clues as to what might come. A Pew Research analysis of census data showed that the women of the millennium - are better educated than their male counterparts - now earn 93 cents for every dollar men earn.

It is still an unacceptable differences, but it is much better than the average for all age groups, the wage gap is 84 cents for every dollar. This narrowing of the gap is a good omen for what is to come.

5. Options for non-traditional profession to take. The Internet has made it possible to create a large number of people their independent businesses or secondary career would not be in the past have been impossible.

Leaving full-time traditional strike on their own still a risky move, but there is no doubt that the technology and the field more accessible game, the internet offers a heck of a lot easier than before. As a result, millions of workers on strike on their own and shape their own careers possible with much more autonomy than before.
