Essential Software for Working From Home

Working from home is the new necessity, maybe even the future of many jobs. The University of Chicago recently published a paper on how many jobs can be done at home. Based on the study in the United States, they concluded that 34 percent of the jobs could be done at home, and those jobs account for 44 percent of all wages. That is a pretty significant percentage. Given the circumstances, there must be a lot of people scrambling to get their working-from-home setup going.

Today I am going to give you the essential list of software for working from home. Below is the software that I will review in this article. They are ordered based on my quality assessment, which you will see in the article/video:
