33% of the world's workforce to be mobile by 2013

Posted by Tasha.caruso on Jun 28, 2010 11:06:45 AM

Forrester’s latest report on The US Consumer PC Market In 2015, states that in 2015, 23% of all PCs sold to consumers in the US will be tablets.  An impact of the rise in mobile working?  We’d like to think so.

 

 

In February, IDC revealed that the world’s mobile worker population will pass the one billion mark by the end of this year.  “By 2013, the total of office-based, non-office-based and home-based mobile workers will grow to nearly 1.2 billion people, representing more than a third of the world’s workforce”.

 

 

What’s also interesting to note is that for the purpose of their study, Forrester includes the iPad in their definition of “PC”.

 

 

TELUS’ mobile work option was beneficial to its 1,600 employees at 25 York Street in Toronto during preparations for the G20 this past weekend.
