Freelancers are creating a structural shift in the workplace
Briefly

By 2025, over 25% of U.S. skilled knowledge workers are freelancers, signaling a major workplace transformation. With collective earnings of $1.5 trillion and a median income surpassing traditional employees, freelancers, particularly Gen Z, are opting for autonomy in their careers. This trend stems from dissatisfaction with rigid 9-to-5 schedules and corporate job insecurity. Employers recognize the advantages of leveraging freelancers for flexibility and specialized skills, integrating them into business strategies to address evolving needs in fast-paced industries like tech and AI.

Freelancers aren't a workaround – they're the first call. In tech, digital marketing and AI, this flexibility is redefining workforce dynamics.
