Working from home is the dream, right?

You never have to get out of your pajamas, you never have to make a long and terrible commute and you never forget your lunch (unless you forget to go to the grocery store, but if that’s the case, I can’t help you).

All jokes aside, though, working from home can mean so much more than just PJs and all-day fridge runs.

It can mean freedom and flexibility, additional financial empowerment or just the peace of mind of a steady stream of income for those who can’t be in a traditional work environment.

Add it all up and it means that people can free up some time and money to live life on their own terms — and we think that’s pretty great!

So today, we found a company that’s hiring people to work from home as customer service representatives in nine U.S. states.

Here’s why some work-from-home jobs have state restrictions.
