Following the pandemic and a nationwide job exodus, millions are choosing to work for themselves rather than work for a company — and more talent is bound to join them.
According to freelancing platform Upwork, 59 million Americans have performed freelance work just in 2020, making up 36% of the U.S. workforce and creating a $1.2 trillion economy.
