In partnership with Rockbridge Associates, the report analyzes secondary data sources, including the U.S. Census Bureau, to determine the size and revenues of U.S. based skilled freelancers. The Nonemployer Statistics series, based on a review of over 20 million tax returns, reveals there are over 6 million skilled freelancers working in creative, technical or professional positions in the United States, earning an estimated $234 billion in revenues in 2020.
Hilary Ross-Rojas, Research Director at Rockbridge Associates adds, “Skilled freelancers are highly satisfied with their independent work, more so than the traditionally employed, contributing to their optimism for the future and grit through the adverse economic conditions of last year. They have big plans for the post-pandemic future, with new marketing and offerings and more training and education to support their business expansion, and we look forward to expanding our insights on this population with Fiverr in the years to come.”
