My wife and I were in Costa Rica last month for two weeks. My wife is a manufacturing engineer and worked remotely for that time. (Since returning she has been working from home as has every office worker in her company)
Her project manager lives in a different US state and works remotely. They have a design engineer on her team that works remotely.
My last 3 companies have Indian tech centers with hundreds of design engineers that work remotely.
My last company sent 2D and 3D modeling to a guy that worked from home in another state. (But his business was declining because the Indians worked for 1/2 the price)
Recently I sat next to a man flying back to Portland that has been travelling by motorcycle for years through South American and now SE Asia. He is a certified accountant and does company's books remotely.
My HR rep lives on the East Coast but manages a team on the West Coast.
