While a lot of attention is given to the rapidly growing freelancer workforce in the US, self-employment is also on the rise in Canada. In fact, according to new research released by Intuit Canada, 45% of the Canadian workforce will be classified as freelance, contract, or on-demand by the year 2020. That is, in fact, MORE than the projected American freelance workforce (40% by 2020).

Findings from Adobe revealed that one-third of the 1,000 U.S. office workers they polled had a second job and more than half predicted we would all have multiple jobs in the future.
By providing one streamlined platform for total freelancer management, businesses can leverage the new Modern Workforce where the number of freelancers will soon be equal to the number of permanent employees in most companies.
