The Number of Self-Employed Workers in the U.S. is Up 57% since the Pandemic
Hat tip to Remote Work thought leader “Ro Remote” for sharing this awesome December 2022 Statistic on the growing surge of self-employed workers in the United States!
While one side of the latest stories in the media are focusing on recent tech layoffs or employers giving over-night ultimatums to employees about returning to 100% in-office work with zero remote work benefits- the other side to the story is the skyrocketing growth of employees who are transitioning at skyrocketing levels to earning their own livings as freelancers or entrepreneurs.
Is there a correlation? We tend to think so.
The road to transitioning into self-employment is no easy feat, but after nearly 3 years of millions of employees around the world achieving all time highs of work productivity as remote workers while simultaneously getting to experience a real sense of life-balance or life-integration that wasn’t possible with in-office work, 100% return to office with zero partial or full-time remote work benefits is a hard no for many.
