That\u2019s why, in March of this year, we invited our members to participate in a survey to help us better understand why Virtual Vocations members, from Millennials to Baby Boomers, work remotely as well as what challenges they face in the digital workplace.<\/p>\n<p>With our Telecommute Week 2019 Survey, our goal was to learn more about the remote work habits and preferences of professionals representing a variety of age groups, then compare those findings to note similarities, differences, and trends in telework.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014Laura Spawn, CEO &amp; Co-Founder, Virtual Vocations, Inc.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3>Research Methodology<\/h3>\n<p>To define target age groups for data collection, Virtual Vocations looked to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pewresearch.org\/fact-tank\/2019\/01\/17\/where-millennials-end-and-generation-z-begins\/\">Pew Research Center<\/a>&#8216;s 2019 definitions of generational groups.

Responses from participants younger or older than the target generations were grouped into an &#8220;Other&#8221; category and not used to inform conclusions within this report.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Among Millennials, Gen-Xers, and Baby Boomers, Virtual Vocations received 1,141 survey responses.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3>Generational Remote Work Statistics Report Summary<\/h3>\n<p>The statistical findings discussed in this report detail conclusions and insights drawn from survey data contributed by registered Virtual Vocations members.
