“Freelancing in America” is the most comprehensive study of the independent workforce. Commissioned by Upwork and Freelancers Union, this study surveyed more than 6,000 U.S. workers. In its fifth annual year, findings show Americans are spending more than 1 billion hours per week freelancing. Beyond quantifying the amount of freelancing happening, new insights delve into why people are increasingly choosing to work this way.
“Freelancing in America” is the most comprehensive study of the independent workforce. Commissioned by Upwork and Freelancers Union, this study analyzes the size of the growing freelance economy and provides insights into the major role freelancers play in the future of work. In fact, based on this year’s findings it is predicted that the majority of the U.S. workforce will be freelancers within a decade (by 2027).
"Freelancing in America” is the most comprehensive study of the independent workforce. Commissioned by Upwork and Freelancers Union, the sixth annual study, which surveyed more than 6,000 U.S. workers over the age of 18, estimates that 57 million Americans freelance and that more people than ever see freelancing as a long-term career path. This year’s study also revealed that a 53% majority of Gen Z workers (ages 18-22) freelanced - the highest freelance participation rate of any age bracket since FIA’s 2014 launch.
"Freelancing in Australia: 2015" is the only study of its kind that quantifies the Australian independent workforce. How many Australians are freelancing? Why? And what is the outlook for freelancing in Australia? This study, conducted by an independent research firm and commissioned by Upwork, surveyed more than 1,000 Australian workers to answer these questions and more. Results showed that nearly 4.1 million people did freelance work in the past year, driven first and foremost by the lure of a more flexible lifestyle.
Upwork commissioned Edelman Intelligence, an independent firm, to conduct the first Freelance Forward study, which is our seventh annual study of the U.S. freelance workforce. We surveyed more than 6,000 U.S. workers over the age of 18 and found that 59 million Americans performed freelance work in the past 12 months, representing 36% of the U.S. workforce, an increase of 2 million freelancers since 2019.
This year’s research revealed how the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the composition and demographics of the freelance workforce.

Deep Learning - The Past, Present and Future of Artificial IntelligenceLukas Masuch
In the last couple of years, deep learning techniques have transformed the world of artificial intelligence. One by one, the abilities and techniques that humans once imagined were uniquely our own have begun to fall to the onslaught of ever more powerful machines. Deep neural networks are now better than humans at tasks such as face recognition and object recognition. They’ve mastered the ancient game of Go and thrashed the best human players. “The pace of progress in artificial general intelligence is incredible fast” (Elon Musk – CEO Tesla & SpaceX) leading to an AI that “would be either the best or the worst thing ever to happen to humanity” (Stephen Hawking – Physicist).
What sparked this new hype? How is Deep Learning different from previous approaches? Let’s look behind the curtain and unravel the reality. This talk will introduce the core concept of deep learning, explore why Sundar Pichai (CEO Google) recently announced that “machine learning is a core transformative way by which Google is rethinking everything they are doing” and explain why “deep learning is probably one of the most exciting things that is happening in the computer industry“ (Jen-Hsun Huang – CEO NVIDIA).

MBO Partners State of Independence in America 2018MBO Partners
The 2018 MBO Partners State of Independence in America paints a nuanced picture of the 42 million Americans who work independently as independent professionals, contractors, consultants, freelancers, side giggers and more.
In this eight year of the report, the longest-running comprehensive look at the independent workforce, American independents emerge as strong, mature, and satisfied.
Even amidst record low unemployment and the strongest jobs market in decades, independent work remains a viable and desirable career path.
"People from all industries choose to become independent professionals,” says Gene Zaino, CEO of MBO Partners. “The key word here is 'choose.'"
With each passing year, independent workers grow in both popularity and in size.
“Independent work and traditional jobs are not engaged in a zero-sum fight, but rather, growing in unison," says Zaino.
Independent work is or has been a part of nearly 47% of American’s careers, a number that is poised to swell to 52% in the next five years.
In the 2018 study, four key trends emerged, each of which mirrors trends in the overall economy.
Traditional jobs aren’t going away. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the US economy has added payroll jobs for 93 straight months, the unemployment rate is 4 percent, and there are 6.7 million open jobs.
Full-time independence continues to be a viable and attractive option for many professionals, especially for those with in-demand skills. Companies are growing more comfortable working with independents, utilizing their skills in strategic positions, and paying them more. As a result, the number of High-Earning Independents, those earning more than $100,000, continues to rise—to 3.3 million. Satisfaction among Full-Time independents remains high as well.
The need for-and interest in-part-time independent work continues to grow. Economic pressures and the continued growth of platforms and technology are contributors to this uptick in interest and size.
The new norm is now more likely to be a mix of traditional and independent experience throughout one's lifespan. An individual's career path may include working at a payroll job, working as a Full-Time Independent, and having a side gig while employed at a payroll job. It’s not necessarily an either-or choice.
Independents remain a powerful economic force, contributing more than $1.3 trillion annually to the economy, more than 6.7% of U.S. GDP. The scale is growing globally as well; one in five serve customers outside of the United States as well as domestically.
This year's study underscores that independence will remain a viable and desired option for workers in the years to come.

The second component of our research involves a deep data-drive into our user-population to determine aspects such as average project duration, income, industry and average hours worked.
Semi-Annual Report on Self-Employment by PeoplePerHourKelly Bolton
PeoplePerHour has embarked on its first comprehensive semi-annual self-employment report to determine the underlying market drivers and labour trends in this burgeoning segment of the labour force. Our analysis is two-fold in that we prepare an exhaustive questionnaire that drills down into the socio-economic aspects of self-employment both at home in the UK, and our broader global self-employed marketplace. The second component of our research involves a deep data-drive into our user-population to determine aspects such as average project duration, income, industry and average hours worked.
‘Tis the season for more shopping, eating and traveling, and that means one thing to hourly employers: more hiring. The results are in from our 2016 Holiday Hiring Survey, and we found that 90% of service industry employers plan on hiring temporary workers this holiday season.
So, what are today’s hourly employers doing to beat the tight labor market, navigate the changing legislative landscape and gain the competitive edge needed to make this holiday season their most successful yet?
Check out our on-demand webinar, “2016 Holiday Hiring Game Plan” webinar presentation, featuring Snagajob’s Senior Director of Data Strategy, Scott Hicks, to:
-- Find out the five plays that will help you win best-fit seasonal employees and significantly reduce time to hire
-- Learn the average number of hours/week employers expect employees to work … plus what kind of wages they’re paying
-- Get tips on what attracts quality candidates ... besides money and a flexible schedule
-- Uncover the one change in your hiring strategy that can really boost application flow
-- Understand how legislative issues around overtime, minimum wage and background checks are impacting workforce management
Belonging is a feeling—the extent to which employees can show up to work fully without having to sacrifice meaningful aspects of their identity. Microaggressions are the everyday moments that cause belonging breakdowns. This map by Erin L. Thomas, PhD, Upwork's VP, Head of Diversity, Inclusion, and Belonging, shows the typical Belonging Breakdown Journey for anyone who’s relatively “different” in a company. Different means non-prototypical, or not the norm.
One of the most significant benefits of remote work is the lack of a commute. From both a timesaving and productivity standpoint, a lack of commute can improve a person's overall happiness and work-life balance. But how much time can remote work actually save? And where do workers who can
go remote stand to benefit most by going remote? Upwork's Cheif Economist, Adam Ozimek, explores these questions and finds that the potential commuting benefits of remote work are
significant across the U.S.
Remote work is undoubtedly on the rise, especially as companies adapt to the changing times of COVID-19, but what impact will this have on the broader economy? In this analysis, Upwork Chief Economist, Adam Ozimek, examines the potential for remote work to reshape the geography of opportunity in the U.S. Using a variety of data sources, we provide evidence that remote work is already helping to send economic activity from the top 15 most expensive parts of the country to less expensive parts. When this happens, we show that it can be mutually beneficial: higher earnings for independent professional’s than in their local labor markets and lower cost for businesses than in their local labor markets. In addition, both sides will likely benefit from a variety of under-discussed benefits beyond pay.

Upwork's Work Without Limits Executive Summit 2019Upwork
Upwork’s annual Work Without Limits Executive Summit brought over 100 senior-level executives from Fortune 1000 organizations such as Microsoft, Procter & Gamble, Oracle, LinkedIn, and Deloitte to discuss how work is evolving. Executives, HR visionaries, and industry influencers shared best practices for organizational transformation and leveraging distributed, flexible teams.
Highlights from this year’s event include:
2 “The future isn’t who you are, the future is who you’re becoming. Who you’re becoming relies directly on who you hire” -Bodell
3 “We don’t want to sit around and wait for the future, you want to create it.” -Bodell
5 “The inhibitor to innovation is not the ability to learn new things but the inability to unlearn mindsets, behaviors and methods that were once effective but now limit success” -O’Reilly
Leaders must UNLEARN, to impact mindset you don’t start thinking differently, you need to start by behaving differently.
6 “New platforms, applications and devices are connecting us like never before. We have extraordinary mobile computing power, allowing anyone to work from anywhere, enabling everyone to gather, generate and share data at warp speed and it’s not going to slow down anytime soon.” -Wade
7 “We’re all struggling to work out how to deal with this as many traditional rules and practices become irrelevant, or at least inadequate. Each one of us is interpreting these changes in different ways” -Wade
8 “The pace of evolution is going to pick up as more and more Millennials are in positions to not only influence but direct how work is done at their organizations” -Gregg
9 How Millennials lead differently
10. Many of us work in the traditional notion of a job that was created with the assembly line. Fast forward to today, we’re seeing the democratization of information and work and the rapid ability to deconstruct jobs, redistribute tasks to anywhere in the world, and the opportunity to reconstruct work in a fundamentally different fashion. It’s a tipping point of the future of work.
11 As skills and technology advance -- speed is the new premium.
12 In 1955, the average age of a Fortune 500 company was 60 years old. Today, less than 12% of the original list remains. The average lifespan is now 20 years old. They all have CHANGE in common and you can either embrace the change and thrive, or resist the change.
13 Work is changing:
-Millennials increase earning power, while baby boomers seek learning opportunities to stay employable
-The number of careers in an life is increasing. Business and talent leaders and workers must plan for careers that span 50–60 years
-Millennials say business should prepare workers
-Freelancers are proactively updating skills to stay marketable
15 “New technology allows you to do things in new ways. But fear holds people back. How do we create a tool that is ‘ordinary and boring’ that can serve as a useful ladder to go from early adopter to early majority?” -Winsor
