The Contra survey population included over 10,000 high earning independent workers in a variety of fields. These are freelancers in engineering, marketing, product development, design and content creation each earning more than $70,000 (USD) annually. It’s an important, successful, cohort: their earnings exceed the average annual pay of employees specializing in these fields according to the BLS.

These freelancers – or solopreneurs – are successful members of what Contra advisor and investor Li Jin and the Contra team call the passion economy.
