Amazon is hiring 5000 people to work from Home, Here is why you should jump into the work at home option.

Update- I made this prediction 3 years ago when Amazon was hiring just about 5,000 people. Today the COVID19 Pandemic has forced this reality to come true.

Amazon is now hiring- 100,000 people to help deliver its packages and guess what, the future of work is now at home.

I woke up this morning to the headline that Amazon is hiring 5000 people to work from their homes and I thought to myself the world is changing before our very eyes, we have jobs been taken over by robots and now the traditional workplace is disappearing too.

I kind of felt happy because I realized that we who chose to make a living from work at home industry are beginning to change what the workplace should be.

I believe that anybody should be able to choose job options that support their lifestyle and provide themselves the liberty to enjoy what they do.

You may want to be part of the work at home group as you try to figure out what flexible options you have.

Here are reasons why you should take that option.

• People are seeking options that give them the flexibility to support their lifestyle while they still make a decent living.
• The internet and technology revolution is making it easier to work from anywhere in the world. You don’t have to be physically present to do a job.
•  The needs of the people are changing, people are pursuing options that tie into their interests, they don’t want to have to walk into a physical store to shop or get a service.
• This year alone, big shopping malls are shutting down for lack of business, competition from online shopping is making it difficult for them to keep up. A good example is a close down of many shops by Macy’s and the filing for bankruptcy by Payless ShoeSource.
• Consumers are seeking options that enable them to get their services with a push of the button. They don’t want to have to leave their homes to get their service.
• People are figuring out that their comfort is more important than the hassles of leaving home for a job or business.
• They want to define how much they earn.
• Many people are seeking a balance in their lives that working from home can give to them, they don’t want to spend all their time working alone, they want to enjoy life too.
• Moms want to be there for their kids.
• People want to work at their own schedule and around the things that matter to them.

All the above-mentioned points support the fact that the work at home industry is the new place to be.

People are making a living from their homes and also supporting their families through it.

If you are considering giving the work at home option a try here are some examples of what you can do from home.
