Searching for jobs, particularly home-based work, used to be a matter of scanning the Sunday classifieds for offers to get rich quick by stuffing envelopes. Now, working from home is easier than before because exposure to at-home opportunities has multiplied.

A wide variety of job ads are just a click away, but so are the scams.

In 2007, when Rat Race Rebellion — a company that helps people find home-based work — began tracking at-home jobs, there were 30 scams for every legitimate opportunity. Now, with 4,500 to 5,000 work-at-home job ads screened weekly, the website finds 60 phonies for every one that’s for real, says Christine Durst, co-founder and principal of Staffcentrix LLC, the company that owns and manages RatRaceRebellion.com.

Nevertheless, there’s no shortage of workers who dream of beating the odds and earning a living from home.

Durst, whose company Staffcentrix develops home-based and virtual career training programs, says those interested in work-at-home jobs primarily are:

Parents who say they want to spend more time with their children.
Trailing military spouses who, according to Durst, by virtue of their spouse’s career need to pick up and move every few years.
Retirees needing supplemental income.
People with disabilities.
