More Americans telecommuting
WASHINGTON - When Thomas Wolfe wrote "you can't go home again" he
obviously wasn't thinking of America's workers.
In the decade of the 1980s the number of people working at home
jumped 56%, the Census Bureau reported Thursday.
And it's no doubt a lot higher now.
Previously unpublished data from the 1990 Census showed 3,406,025
people working at home that year, 3% of all working people.
That was up from 2,179,863 who worked at home in 1980, a figure that
had been declining since it was first measured in 1960.
"The decade of the 1980s marked a rebirth of work at home in the
United States," reported Census population expert Phillip A. Salopek.
"It is noteworthy that this impressive growth occurred before the
expansion of the Internet."
Thanks to the growth of computer use, the bureau noted that a 1997
survey for Telecommute America estimated the number of people
"telecommuting" to work via computer had reached 11 million.
In 1960, when the Census Bureau first asked about working at home, it
found 4,662,750 people in that category. That fell to 2,685,144 in
1970 and continued to decline in 1980 before turning upward again.
"Quite a lot of the decrease" in working at home before 1980 was a
result of the decline in family farms, explained Census' Gloria
Swieczkowski. Why the sudden turnaround: "I don't guess we really
know that for sure."
She said Census and private population analysts are eager to see the
total who work at home in the upcoming Census 2000.
The Census report on people working at home in 1990 showed:
A slim majority, 52%, were women, although they made up just 45% of
people who worked outside the home. Home workers were 92% white, 4%
black and 5% Hispanic. Those working outside the home were 83% white,
10% black and just under 8% Hispanic. Hispanics can be member of any
race and are included in figures for blacks, whites and others. Some
54% of home workers were self-employed, compared with 5.5% of workers
outside the home.

Hi,
I've taken a new step to prevent spam from ever reaching my domain which
includes ctpp-news.
I've joined the Realtime Blackhole List. This list is updated constantly to
refuse mail from known domains that are spam friendly or spam neutral. When
a machine from a domain listed on the RBL tries to send mail to my machine,
it will be rejected with a message that says that the IP address you are
sending from has been listed in the RBL.
If that every happens to you, email me at chrisp(a)tikizine.com or email
somebody on the list to let them know that you are shut out who can forward
that information to me. And then complain to your ISP. The RBL is not taken
lightly and domains that end up on the list have basically refused to take
care of spam originating from their network.
If you are interested in reading more, take a look at:

I had to take this step because I currently have a 4k file that lists all
of the domains and checks in order to weed out spam. It is slowing down my
mail and becoming unwieldy to maintain.
The RBL should take care of a large majority of the truly bad spam I get
so I can pare down the file some.
