According to a 2018 Gallup study, the so called gig economy makes people happier!
Just look at these impressive stats:
1. Roughly 94% of self-employed workers believe their job is making a worthwhile contribution to the world
2. 82% of freelancers and contractors are proud of their career
3. 97% of contractors report being much happier than their permanent counterparts
Surveys show that the freelance workforce in the US is expected to jump to 43% by 2020! This means nearly half of the entire work force will be freelancers or self-employed.
