There are some interesting trends in the US federal government of which Co-Working businesses should be aware. First is that a Teleworking bill was passed by the senate (the house cleared it some time ago) and is headed for reconciliation, and probably will be signed into law (big-up to School House Rock for helping me understand that process). Link to that story: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/09/30/AR2010093007280.html?wpisrc=nl_fed
Also, The Teleworking Centers are not being approved as alternative work-sites for government employees: http://www.gsa.gov/portal/content/102788 http://www.telework.gov/Tools_and_Resources/Telework_Centers/index.aspx Some trend analysis that the Office of Personnel Management http://www.telework.gov/Reports_and_Studies/Annual_Reports/2009teleworkreport.pdf As a trend, I think this could be a very interesting market for Co- Working businesses. And hey, let's face it - No matter how you may personally feel about the government, having government employees exposed to a Collaborative Shared Work-enviornment has to be a good thing. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Coworking" group.
