In 10 years’ time will a majority of us earn most of our income from Freelance employment or traditional Full Time employment? That is a question I asked on Twitter and the responses revealed that 75%-80% of the people polled believed that in 10 years Freelance or Gig work will account for a majority of the income for most of us.
While I do believe that the Freelance and Gig work economy is growing, I have a hard time believing that most people will make 50%-100% of their income from these types of jobs in the near future. Most of the time Freelance and Gig work is something people use to supplement an existing form of income, and I think that will remain true in the next 10 years.
