Looking at the numbers, there can be no doubt that the “gig economy“, the robust marketplace of freelancers, is alive and well. In fact, one recent report shows that one in three Americans is a freelancer:
Nearly 54 million Americans participated in some form of independent work in 2015, an increase of 700,000 workers over the previous year; and
About 1 in 12 U.S. households — more than 10 million people — rely on independent work for more than half of their income.
These days, entire functional areas, such as customer service, are staffed wholesale with remote freelancers and the rising demand in areas like logistics have opened new markets for freelancers where none existed before.
