While 74% of the US working population works in full-time or permanent roles, more than one in ten employees have already joined what’s now known as the gig economy, according to a new survey by ReportLinker.
In addition, a third of US respondents to ReportLinker’s survey say they would consider exiting the traditional workplace to work as a freelancer or independent contractor, and nearly half of them say they would be willing to take the leap within the next three years. This suggests there could be a quiet revolution underway.
