One answer is virtual work. Virtual work is more than an abstract, techy concept – many companies now pride themselves on having employees all over the globe. It is expected that 1/3 of the global workforce is virtual and that by 2020, 58% of all employment will be contract based.
There are dedicated sites for virtual work (many require a subscription or service fee), but you can also use general job listing directories that allow you to search nationwide and for the keywords “telecommuting”, “telecommute”, and “telework” (“work at home” and “work from home” may have more scammers). If the site allows, you can also search for “telecommut*” and “telework*” — add the asterisk to include variations of these terms in the search results.
Here are a few links to get you started:
Indeed.com search for “telecommut*” and “telework*”
Monster.com search for “telecommuting”, “telecommute”, “telecommuter”, and “telework*”
Flexjobs.com hand-screened telecommuting and online jobs — possibly the best of its kind. To access their directory of over 2,000 jobs, as well as resources like company backgrounds and daily updates, it is $14.95 per month or $49.95 per year.
UpWork (formally oDesk, a website that matches freelancers to projects)

whydowork.com
About.com‘s Home Business site has instructions for finding legitimate work-from-home jobs and also regularly posts new available telecommuting positions — definitely worth a visit.
