Summary: Great Information
Review: Frankly, I am surpirsed by the negative comments. It's like people buying a lottery ticket and complaining when they don't win. I think that this is the most comprehensive book on the subject. Sure, there are not going to be work-at-home jobs in every area of the country -- they are not that easy to come by! And yes, it will probably be somewhat outdated, even before it hits the store shelves. That is the nature of business -- and books! But all in all, I found the information credible and up to date. Plus it was full of ideas that give you jumping points from which you can start, even if there is not a job available in your area. I bought the book for my brother who is disabled, and unable to get a "regular" job. I read it before I sent it to him, to be sure I was sending him something worthwhile. I thought the book had some great information, and yes! He was able to find a work-at-home job. Be forewarned, work-at-home jobs are not always easy to come by. You (gulp!) actually have to qualify (!!) for the position, and in many cases, you must live near the company. If you ACTUALLY think that you can make money from home stuffing envelopes (or some other "easy" sounding job) from home, and send off [some] bucks to get the "position" be prepared to be out [money]. On the other hand, if you're looking for a real work-at-home job, and not some scheme, this book is a great starting point.

Summary: A good "idea" book, but short on local job availabilities
Review: I did not actually contact any of the companies listed in the book, but the book was helpful for me in my work at home solution. It gave me several ideas on different things that can actually be done from home. Some of the actual businesses listed in the book do only hire local residents and unfortunately they were not in my state. It did give me some encouragement and ideas in my search. I did think that the book was helpful for me.

Summary: Many of the companies in this book don't exist anymore
Review: I have purchased the sixth and seventh edition of this book and the information is very outdated. I have contacted many of the companies in this book and more than 70% are either out of business or have discontinued their work at home programs. I specifically needed computer based home work and out of all the possible jobs this book lists I have only gotten two leads out of the book.

Summary: A good "idea" book, but short on local job availabilities
Review: If you are in dire straits and are hoping and dreaming that this book solve you financial situation, I urge you to borrow it from the library first so that you at least can read it for free the first time. If you like it only then buy it. There is some good info. in it, but I certainly never found any local jobs with it. And most featured in the book did require a certain degree of education and experience, or you already had to be employed by the company, like 3M or similar, and then go about getting the job interntally. The last ones are probably never advertised. And the "opportunities" to "work at home" and get "easy pay" that you see in the local rag, stapled to electrical poles and in the classifieds and the multi-level marketing schemes are only opportunities to make others rich and you poorer. I should know. I looked and looked and looked on my late elderly mother's behalf, and I wasted a lot of time & money on her behalf too.The people responsible for such misrepresentation are the scum of the earth, for they give false hope to those who already feel hopeless and afraid. Please do your research before you commit to anything that looks even remotely questionable.
