Freelancing income totals almost $1 trillion — or nearly 5% of GDP — more than major industries like construction.
A survey was conducted on more than 6k U.S.workers over the age of 18 says that about 57 million Americans freelance.
The five notable findings as presented in the report are;
- Freelancing income exceeds the GDP of some major industries.

- Freelancers are most likely to be skilled professionals.
