Moving to the bar chart, It can be clearly seen that managers and senior officials comprised 10% of teleworkers which 3% of them preferred to work in their own homes and the rest favored different places. It should be noted that there is a similar pattern for some who had professional occupations. Also many who had skilled trades constituted 18% of teleworkers which the overwhelming majority of them (17%) chose different places for working and only 1% of them worked in their personal homes. In conclusion, in this period of time people' s tendencies for teleworking were on the increase and in 2005 most teleworkers had skilled trades.
