Hi everyone!
I’m super excited to present The State of Independence Report 2021, in concert with Contra, a new professional network that gives workers the tools they need for a flexible career.
Anyone who has ever met me can probably tell that I’m obsessed with how the future of work will look more independent and creative than the corporate 9-5s of yesteryear. Workers are increasingly choosing projects that they personally feel values-aligned with, taking charge of their own education/upskilling, and choosing freelance not for the money but for the autonomy and freedom. This report quantifies those trends; we surveyed over 10,000 independents who work in digital product-related industries. The report reflects the incredible shift we are seeing in the current workforce. Hope you enjoy it!
