30+ Freelance Stats for 2019

Adam Warner September 08, 2019 47

Is freelancing just a passing trend, or is it here to stay? Can you actually make a decent living
doing it, or is it a dead end road? Can hiring a freelancer for your project be a good investment,
or is it a waste of resources?

Vague reassurances and promises aren’t enough. You want cold, hard data and reliable
information before making an investment or changing the course of your career. Placing
your con dence in anything less could lead to problems down the line.

Not to worry – we got your back.

By combing through the most recent reports and studies, we have pulled together a ton of
information that proves freelancing is something that everyone should be taking seriously,
whether you’re looking for work or looking to hire.

But don’t take our word for it. Let the numbers speak for themselves.

The Current Freelance Job Market

Let’s take a look at the available opportunities, the jobs that are the most popular or can provide
the most work hours, and the skills you need if you want to win them.

1. The Number of Freelancers Is Growing—Fast

35% of Americans freelanced in 2018, up by 7% since 2013

https://www.websiteplanet.com/blog/freelance-stats/ 1/24
10/11/2019 30+ Freelance Stats for 2019

The percentage of non-freelancers only grew by 2%

47% of freelancers are millennials

Within the United States alone, 35% of Americans freelanced in 2018. In just ve years, this
number grew 7%, from 53 million people to 56.7 million. In that same time span, the non-
freelance workforce only grew by 2%, from 103 million people to 105.3 million.

This growth is primarily being driven by younger generations, with 47% of working
millennials currently freelancing – more than any other generation. And more millennials are
beginning to freelance full-time, suggesting that is becoming more of a lifestyle choice than
just a nancial supplement.

2. How Freelancers Look for Work

When Payoneer investigated where most freelancers look for work, what they found was
interesting. Apparently, in recent years, most freelancers (73%) are turning to online
marketplaces to locate clients.

The second most common way, used by 33% of freelancers, is to nd clients is through word-of-
mouth or referrals. Other popular methods include social media channels and recruitment rms.
If you are just starting out, it’s best to try a number of di erent venues to see what works
for you.

3. The Largest Freelance Platforms

These are the largest freelance websites by number of users (clients & freelancers):

1.  Freelancer.com: More than 31 million users

2.  Upwork: More than 17 million registered users

https://www.websiteplanet.com/blog/freelance-stats/ 2/24
10/11/2019 30+ Freelance Stats for 2019

3.  Fiverr: More than seven million registered users

The largest freelance platform by number of users is Freelancer.com, with over 31 million. For
more information, read our review of what it’s like to work on the platform.

The second most populous, but largely considered number one by many freelancers, is Upwork,
with more than 17 million registered users (12 million freelancers, ve million clients). Curious
about what it’s like to work as a freelancer on Upwork? Read our review.

You can also learn about what it’s like to work on the third largest platform, Fiverr, by reading
our review. Regardless of whether you are looking for work or looking to hire, freelancing
platforms are de nitely a strategy to consider.

4. Where Clients Are Located

Payoneer recently asked freelancers where the clients they worked for were located. The
majority of freelancers (68%) reported that they have clients in North America, while
more than half (51%) have clients in Europe. The regions with the least amount of clients were
Australia (15%), the Middle East (9%), and Africa (7%).

Freelancing essentially eliminates geography as a barrier for work. However, freelancers should
keep in mind that the level of pay they can expect to receive is often in line with the cost of living
in the client’s country.

5. Top Time Commitments for Freelance Positions

Average hours worked per week by position:

Management and human relations: 39 hours

Engineering and manufacturing: 38.2 hours

https://www.websiteplanet.com/blog/freelance-stats/ 3/24
10/11/2019 30+ Freelance Stats for 2019

Customer support and administrative positions: 38.2 hours

Programming and IT: 37.4 hours

Marketing and sales: 37 hours

Multimedia and design: 36.5 hours

Translators and writers: 34 hours

Legal positions: 33.6 hours

The number of hours worked per week can vary greatly based on a freelancer’s area of expertise
and the nature of the work (e.g., accountants are busiest over tax season). However, most
freelancers work comparable hours to full-time, salaried employees.

While many freelancers choose to work part-time, some positions require a full-time
commitment. Positions that require the most hours include management (39 hours per week on
average), as well as engineering, manufacturing, customer support, and administrative positions
(38.2 hours).

6. Technology Helps Freelancers Find Work

64% used the internet to nd clients in 2018, compared to 42% in 2014

67% said the amount of work they found online increased in 2018

35% use an online portfolio to market themselves

47% spend less than two hours a week looking for work

More freelancers than ever before are using the internet to identify and secure job
opportunities. In 2018, 64% of freelancers used the internet to assist in locating clients,
compared to only 42% in 2014.

Thanks in large part to the use of freelance platforms and the ability to secure ongoing
work, nearly half (47%) of freelancers said that they spend less than two hours each week
looking for new projects. In fact, 67% of freelancers stated that the amount of work they found
online increased in 2018, more than any previous year.

7. Freelancers Turn to Training for Career Advancement

https://www.websiteplanet.com/blog/freelance-stats/ 4/24
10/11/2019 30+ Freelance Stats for 2019

A recent study went out to determine what skills freelancers are most interested in improving in
order to advance their careers. Given the nature of the freelance economy, it’s not surprising
that the highest percentage (33%) hoped to improve their computer skills.

In second place, at 29%, freelancers believed that an improvement in their networking skills
would have the greatest impact on their future opportunities. Other skills that freelancers were
interested in improving included freelance business skills (27%), marketing skills (26%), and their
ability to nd work (24%).

This points to needs that currently exist within the freelance community, which could be
addressed through apps or training programs.

8. Workers Are Worried About Staying Relevant

54% of workers fear their jobs won’t be relevant in 20 years

55% of freelancers (and 29% of non-freelancers) fear automation’s impact on the job market

According to Upwork’s recent freelancing study, 54% of the workforce is concerned that the job
they do today may not exist in 20 years—this includes both freelancers and non-freelancers.

Freelancers, however, seem to have a higher level of awareness when it comes to how
automation is going to impact the future workforce. More than half (55%) fear its impact on
their future livelihood, compared to only 29% of non-freelancers.

In addition, two-thirds (67%) of freelancers acknowledge that the job market has changed,
compared to only 42% in 2014. This could have major implications regarding how individuals
seek to secure work through either skill or client diversi cation.

9. Businesses and Individuals Are Embracing Remote Work

https://www.websiteplanet.com/blog/freelance-stats/ 5/24
10/11/2019 30+ Freelance Stats for 2019

20% of large organizations (1,000+ employees) use 30%+ remote workers

50% of organizations increased use of freelance workers in the last ve years

50% of U.S. jobs are compatible with remote work

80% of workers want remote work

But only 7% of organizations are exible enough to allow remote work

100% remote sta businesses include: Edgar, Toptal, Basecamp, InVision, Ghost, Automattic,
Zapier, Hubsta , Trello, Bu er, Groove, Doist, and Toggl

Of organizations around the world, 20% with a sta of more than 1,000 includes at least 30%
remote workers. On top of this, 50% of organizations had a substantial increase in their
freelance workforce within the last ve years.

In fact, up to 50% of jobs within the U.S. are compatible with remote work, and 80% of workers
say that they’d like to work remotely on a part-time basis, at least. However, only 7% of
businesses allow for employees to work remotely on any level.

That said, there are quite a few large businesses that have begun to use a 100% remote sta .
These include Edgar, Toptal, Basecamp, InVision, Ghost, Automattic, Zapier, Hubsta , Trello,
Bu er, Groove, Doist, and Toggl. This shows that businesses and individuals alike are
becoming more comfortable with remote workers.

The Freelance Workforce

The following stats focus on freelancers themselves, including information regarding their
interests, education, and work life:

10. Things Freelancers Worry About

https://www.websiteplanet.com/blog/freelance-stats/ 6/24
10/11/2019 30+ Freelance Stats for 2019

When freelancers were asked what concerns them the most about going independent, their
answers were fairly evenly spread. Access to a ordable healthcare is the predominant
concern, with 22% of freelancers sharing this problem.

The two next largest issues faced by the respondents were unpredictable income and saving for
retirement, both of which 19% of freelancers stated they were concerned about. Some other
common problems faced by many freelancers are being paid a fair rate, high taxes, and the fear
of going into debt.

It’s important to note that many of these concerns could certainly be shared by full-time
employees as well, and that there are only a few concerns listed that would be solely be felt by
freelancers.

11. Most Freelancers Are Young

https://www.websiteplanet.com/blog/freelance-stats/ 7/24
10/11/2019 30+ Freelance Stats for 2019

The majority of freelancers all around the world skew young. More than half of all
freelancers (52%) are under the age of 29 (and 88% are under 39!), making millennials the
predominant age group to pursue this type of work. Only 16% of freelancers are older than 40.

This could be because freelancers often need to rely on new technology to be successful. It could
also be because freelancers are less likely to have established professional and personal
lives than older employees, and may desire more exibility when it comes to their jobs.

12. Freelance Gender Demographics

In the United States, 60% of freelancers identify as men (40% women). This is in stark contrast to
global averages, where 77% of freelancers are men (23% women).

13. Most Freelancers Work from Home

https://www.websiteplanet.com/blog/freelance-stats/ 8/24
10/11/2019 30+ Freelance Stats for 2019

A recent survey revealed that 86% of freelancers work from home during the week, an
overwhelming majority. Co ee shops are also popular, as 40% of respondents said they typically
spend at least some time working in these establishments.

With the rise of digital nomads, more people are beginning to work abroad as well, with 25%
working in a remote country or city. The ability to work from anywhere—including another
country—is a major draw for many freelancers.

14. Reasons People Choose to Freelance

In a 2018 study, freelancers were asked about their top reasons for choosing this lifestyle. A
majority (81%) of full-time freelancers said it was so they could become their own boss.

https://www.websiteplanet.com/blog/freelance-stats/ 9/24
10/11/2019 30+ Freelance Stats for 2019

Flexibility and the freedom to work from the location they want were the next most popular
answers.

For part-time freelancers, the most popular reason (76%) was to be able to earn extra money.
Whereas nancial reasons appear to drive part-time freelancers, full-timers seem to be
somewhat more focused around improved work-life balance.

15. Freelancers Juggle Multiple Projects

Number of projects freelancers manage at once:

One: 13%

Two to four: 70%

Five to nine: 13%

Ten or more: 4%

The majority of freelancers have multiple projects going at any single moment, while only 13%
rely on a single project. A diversi ed client portfolio points to higher job security. The largest
percentage (70%) have somewhere between two and four projects that they are working on
concurrently, while only 17% take on any more than that.

16. Half of Freelancers Are Intermittent Workers

Half of all freelancers only do so intermittently (less than once a week), and likely have other,
more traditional income sources in addition to their freelancing. The other half are consistent
freelancers, and work regularly. In fact, 42% of all freelancers work less than once a week in
this capacity, and often do so just to add to their income.

https://www.websiteplanet.com/blog/freelance-stats/ 10/24
10/11/2019 30+ Freelance Stats for 2019

However, the majority of freelancers (58%) do work at least once a week, suggesting the ability
to get regular work regardless of whether or not it’s their only source of income.

17. Education Freelancers Value the Most

Degrees freelancers hold, globally:

Bachelor’s or certi cate degree: 54%

Master’s or Ph.D.: 25%

No degree: 20%

Pursued skill training in the past six months:

70% of full-time freelancers

49% of full-time non-freelancers

What’s the most useful?

79% of freelancers believe their college degree is useful for their current work

93% of freelancers with a four-year degree said that skill training was useful

It appears as though freelancers tend to value skill training over formal education. 93% of
freelancers with a four-year degree claimed that skill training was useful, while only 79% said
their college education was still useful for what they’re currently doing. Of all global respondents,
54% of them held a bachelor’s degree, while 20% did not have any sort of degree.

Freelancers are more regularly updating their skills in order to remain relevant in their
given trade. When compared to traditional workers, 70% of full-time freelancers took part in
some form of skill training within the last six months, and only 49% of full-time non-freelancers
did the same.

Most freelancers are enhancing their skills in the elds of networking, technology, and
business management. One barrier they face when accessing quality training is cost, which
a ects 53% of freelancers.

18. Freelancers Are More Politically Active

Who participates in political activities?

53% of full-time freelancers

34% of full-time non-freelancers

https://www.websiteplanet.com/blog/freelance-stats/ 11/24
10/11/2019 30+ Freelance Stats for 2019

72% of freelancers would cross party lines in support of freelancer interests

Freelancers, in general, tend to be more politically active than non-freelancers: 53% of full-
time freelancers participate in political activities, compared to only 34% of full-time employees
holding traditional positions.

72% of freelancers said they’d be willing to cross party lines to vote for a candidate that
supports freelancer interests. This indicates how strongly freelancers feel and suggests that
they would be much more vocal when it comes to these issues.

19. Most Freelancers Have Multiple Skills

In a recent survey, 61% of freelancers claimed that they use two to three skills in their weekly
work activities, while 34% rely on more than three. This shows that freelancers are e ectively
diversifying their skill sets and have opportunities across a range of project types. Only 5%
of freelancers stated that their services were dependent on a single skill set.

Benefits of the Freelance Economy

Now we’ll cover some statistics that better illustrate the far-reaching bene ts of this rapidly
growing economy.

20. Freelancers Contribute to the Economy

Freelancers contributed $1.4 trillion to the U.S. economy in 2017

67% of freelancers believe freelancing is bene cial to the middle class

In the year 2017 alone, freelancers contributed $1.4 trillion to the U.S. economy. This is one of
the major reasons why 67% believe that a booming freelance economy is bene cial to America’s

https://www.websiteplanet.com/blog/freelance-stats/ 12/24
10/11/2019 30+ Freelance Stats for 2019

middle class. With low barriers to entry and the ability to work as much or as little as you’d
like, it’s no surprise that freelancing is making a di erence to so many already.

21. Freelancers Have a Better Work-Life Balance

77% said their work-life balance has improved

51% said no amount of money would get them to return to a traditional position

77% said they have more time for the people and things they care about

76% said their freelance work is more stimulating than their previous job

According to an Upwork study, 77% of full-time freelancers believe they have a better work-
life balance since going independent. However, this does come at a cost, as 63% also claimed
to feel anxious about everything that’s now necessary for them to manage.

More than two-thirds (77%) said that they now have more time for the people and things they
care about. A similar number of freelancers (76%) claim that their freelance work is more
stimulating than their work in a traditional job, which is probably why many (51%) claim that no
amount of money would be enough to get them to return to a traditional position.

22. Freelancers Are Happier, Healthier

According to a recent study, 80% of freelancers reported an increase in morale, while 82%
said that their stress levels had decreased.

In another study, 68% of respondents claimed that their quality of life had improved since
they began freelancing, while 23% said it’s about the same, and only 9% said that it had
worsened.

https://www.websiteplanet.com/blog/freelance-stats/ 13/24
10/11/2019 30+ Freelance Stats for 2019

Keeping this in mind, it’s not surprising that many have indicated experiencing health bene ts
since going freelance—nearly two-thirds have indicated better sleep and overall improved
health.

23. Freelancers Are More Optimistic About Advancement Opportunities

Feelings regarding career advancement potential (freelancers vs non-freelancers):

My position provides the opportunity for upward mobility

72% of freelancers agree

53% of non-freelancers agree

My job provides pay appropriate to my skill level

77% of freelancers agree

62% of non-freelancers agree

My work is challenging, giving me the opportunity to develop new skills

81% of freelancers agree

67% of non-freelancers agree

My job o ers a long-term career path

77% of freelancers agree

69% of non-freelancers agree

A recent questionnaire asked freelancers, as well as those holding traditional positions, about
their future career prospects. When asked if they thought their position o ered upward mobility,
72% of freelancers said that it did, while only 53% of non-freelancers felt the same way.

Freelancers were generally happier with their jobs’ rate of pay, challenge level, and long-term
career paths. This may be due to the fact that freelancers feel like they have more control over
the work that they are doing, and can negotiate rates on a project-by-project basis.

24. Many Freelancers Feel More Secure in Their Employment

https://www.websiteplanet.com/blog/freelance-stats/ 14/24
10/11/2019 30+ Freelance Stats for 2019

Of freelancers that were asked, 45% said they now feel more secure about their employment
when compared to last year. This could be because they have had more experience working in
the freelancing space, or because there are more opportunities available to them. 21% said they
feel less secure, and 34% said they feel about the same.

In the same study, 41% of respondents said that they intend to freelance for the
foreseeable future. The majority of freelancers (63%) also believe that having a diversi ed
portfolio of clients provides them with a greater level of security than a single employer (up by
10% since 2016). For this reason, most freelancers average 4.5 clients per month.

25. Freelancing Supports a Variety of Personal Circumstances

42% of freelancers say they now have the ability to work despite having personal obstacles
and/or special needs

In a recent survey, 42% of respondents said that freelancing has given them the ability to work
when they were unable to hold a traditional position due to personal circumstances. This allows
those with children, health problems, special needs, or other personal commitments to
comfortably work from home, when other options may not be available.

Income in the Freelance Economy

Freelancing can be incredibly lucrative for some, while others barely scrape by. This depends on
a number of factors, so knowing the statistics behind income for freelancers is useful for those
looking to make more money, as well as for those hiring.

26. On Average, Women Freelancers Earn Less Than Men

In traditionally held jobs worldwide, women make 54% of what men make

In freelancing, women make 80% of what men make

https://www.websiteplanet.com/blog/freelance-stats/ 15/24
10/11/2019 30+ Freelance Stats for 2019

Here’s how the freelancing pay gap breaks down by industry, per hour:

When analyzed globally, it was determined that women in traditional jobs make only 54% of the
amount that men make. And, while this disparity still exists in freelancing, it’s a bit smaller, with
women making 80% of what men do across elds. However, in our own research of freelance
platforms, we found the gender gap to be greater.

The discrepancy varies depending on the industry. It’s the most pronounced in the IT and
programming elds, where women’s hourly rates average 76% of men’s; and is the lowest in
design and multimedia, where women earn 95% of the amount that men do.

There are exceptions though, such as in countries like Romania, Mexico, and Venezuela, where
there appears to be no freelance gender pay gap, and Bolivia and Indonesia, where women
actually earn more than men.

27. Average Freelance Earnings per Hour by Industry

https://www.websiteplanet.com/blog/freelance-stats/ 16/24
10/11/2019 30+ Freelance Stats for 2019

When analyzed by industry, the highest pay is earned by those in the legal eld, speci cally
those practicing tax law, who earn $30 per hour on average. The eld that has the lowest pay is
customer support and administration, where freelancers earn a measly $11 per hour on
average.

The industries that pay more generally require more in-depth or speci c experience. For this
reason, there tend to be fewer freelancers who o er these services, allowing those who do to
charge greater rates.

28. Average Global Freelancer Earnings per Hour

When it comes to pay per hour, here’s what freelancers are earning around the globe:

Across the 170 countries studied, the average hourly rate for freelancers was $19
https://www.websiteplanet.com/blog/freelance-stats/ 17/24
10/11/2019 30+ Freelance Stats for 2019

When analyzed by hourly rate, the majority of global freelancers (57%) make less than $15 per
hour, and only 14% make more than $30 per hour.

While this may seem a bit grim, these rates vary wildly depending on a number of factors,
such as home country, native language, area of expertise, and experience level. Those with the
right skills and experience are likely to make well over the global average, which currently stands
at around $19 per hour.

29. When It Comes to Pay, Experience Trumps Education

Degrees don’t matter too much when it comes to average hourly rate:

High school education: $19 an hour

Certi cate, or bachelor’s degree: $18 an hour

Master’s degree or Ph.D.: $21 an hour

With U.S. freelancers, it appears that clients pay far closer attention to experience and
ratings from past clients than they do education. This was determined by analyzing the
average hourly rate of freelancers based upon their level of education.

Therefore, those who are older and have more life experience, as well as those who have already
earned positive feedback on a freelance platform, tend to enjoy higher pay rates.

30. Full-Time Freelancers Dip into Savings Often

Dip into savings at least once a month:

63% of full-time freelancers

20% of full-time non-freelancers

Full-time freelancers were asked how often they were forced to use their savings to make ends
meet, and it appears they do so more often than non-freelancers. The data compiled showed
that 63% of freelancers use their savings at least once a month, compared to only 20% of
full-time traditionally employed people.

However, it seems as though freelancers are aware of this trade-o . When asked why they went
independent, only 7% of freelancers said it was for nancial upsides, while most did so for
personal growth or exibility.

31. Freelancers Get Ripped Off…A Lot

https://www.websiteplanet.com/blog/freelance-stats/ 18/24
10/11/2019 30+ Freelance Stats for 2019

One unfortunate aspect to freelancing that many have had to deal with is unreliable clients.
When asked if they’ve ever been sti ed by a client, a shocking 44% of freelancers
admitted that they had, while 56% had not.

Many (47%) believe that this is due to a lack of respect for the freelancer community, and 35%
blame vague or poorly constructed contracts.

This is a reason why it can be bene cial to work on a freelancing platform like Upwork or
Freelancer.com, which have systems in place to ensure that contracts are upheld, o ering
arbitration services when needed.

Future Projections
According to most experts, the future of freelancing looks bright. Here are some of the top
projections regarding what’s ahead for this rapidly expanding economy.

32. Freelancers Will Make Up Majority of U.S. Workforce

https://www.websiteplanet.com/blog/freelance-stats/ 19/24
10/11/2019 30+ Freelance Stats for 2019

By the year 2027, freelancers are projected to make up the majority of the workforce within
the United States, with 50.9% of the population.

In fact, at the current growth rate, 43% of Americans are predicted to be freelancing by as early
as 2020! This will have signi cant implications regarding how businesses are operated and
projects are managed.

33. More Businesses Will Use Freelance Workers

25% of global businesses are predicted to have 30% remote workers by 2020

Well, this just makes sense. If there are going to be more freelance workers, then there are going
to be more businesses utilizing their service o erings. In fact, it’s projected that by the year
2020, a quarter of business’ workforces will be made up of around 30% remote workers.
This equates to one out of ve workers across the globe engaging in freelance work.

34. What Freelancers Want More of in the Future

https://www.websiteplanet.com/blog/freelance-stats/ 20/24
10/11/2019 30+ Freelance Stats for 2019

Freelancers were recently asked what they thought was missing from the world of freelancing
that they’d like to see more of in the future. The majority, with 61%, seemed to think that
freelancing lacks a strong community, and could bene t from improved collaboration.

Respondents would also like to see more streamlined business operations, more remote work
opportunities, and better protections for the rights of freelancers. It’s only a matter of time
before these needs are answered by opportunistic companies, a number of apps have already
become available to help freelancers and remote teams stay productive.

35. Globalization and Freelancing

Freelancers view globalization as:

An opportunity for expansion: 71%

A non-threat or net-neutral: 21%

A threat due to increased competition: 8%

A recent study analyzed freelancers’ attitudes toward globalization. According to the data, most
freelancers (71%) view globalization as an opportunity for expansion, with the possibility for
greater connection to potential clients and job opportunities. Answers could vary based on the
types of services the freelancer o ers, and how competitive his or her skills are.

The Takeaway
Hopefully by now you feel a little more enlightened about this rapidly growing way of life. As the
