From the Paper:

"Telecommuting's emergence as a reciprocal strategy for retaining valuable workers while reducing the costs of operating an enterprise is yielding an entirely set of anticipated benefits for businesses, and creating entirely unforeseen effects on employees, their social networks, and relationships with peers and superiors. Baby Boomers, the foundation of the nations' largest demographic trend in its history, are now beginning to retire, leaving many highly skilled jobs open. The rate of baby Boomer retirement has in some industries been faster than the graduation rate of professionals to take their place. This dynamic has led to a shortage of skilled workers in many industries. The challenge of retaining these workers has led to a generation of employees who have been showered with perks, programs, and incentives to stay in jobs not easily filled."
