HALF of Canadian Workforce to be Freelance by 2020
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).
