It’s time to give freelance workers the credit they deserve. Often looked at as not a “real” occupation, freelance work can seem abstract for some people, when it’s actually a very viable career choice. Freelancers are proving their working model is one that is only getting more popular. It’s estimated that freelancers will become the workforce majority, with millennials and Gen Z pushing for more contract, remote work opportunities.
The Upwork and Freelancers Union’s Freelancing in America: 2019 report found that 57 million Americans freelance in some sort of capacity, making up 35 percent of the workforce. Out of all generational groups, Gen Z has the most freelancers, at 53 percent. Between 2014 and 2019, the amount of people who freelance full time rose from 17 to 28 percent.
