2Freelancing in America: 2016
2016 is the third year we have conducted
“Freelancing in America” – the most comprehensive
measure of the U.S. independent workforce
available. Going into this year’s survey, we already
knew that millions of Americans today are choosing
to be part of the independent workforce, driven
by freedom and fexibility. Moreover, technology
is making it easier to fnd freelance work, making
freelancing an increasingly popular way to work
and live.
What distinguishes and excites us about
“Freelancing in America: 2016” is not only how
much the freelance economy continues to grow
– now at 35% of the U.S. workforce – but also the
potential impact of independent workers in the
2016 presidential election. The economy is top of
mind for voters – and especially so for freelancers.
Of the 55 million Americans who have joined the
freelance economy, 85% say they are likely to vote
in the 2016 presidential election. That’s a powerful,
diverse, motivated bloc of voters, and they have a
distinct set of priorities.
Our annual survey fnds that over two-thirds of
independent workers say they are more likely to
vote for a candidate that supports freelancers’
interests. But despite freelancers’ huge numbers –
and the estimated $1 trillion they earned last year,
representing a sizable share of the U.S. economy
– freelancers overwhelmingly say we need more
discussion of how to empower the independent
workforce.
The days of the traditional nine-to-fve job are long
gone. Freelancing is here to stay. As the economy
shifts, our elected offcials need to shift with it by
supporting the independent workers and voters
who are helping to move the economy forward.
More and more
Americans are freelancing.
They vote, too.
In 2016, one of the largest voting blocs in the country is eager to be heard about the
opportunities and challenges facing the expanding independent workforce.
