I finally looked up how many freelancers actually make a full-time living

I was reading a report from Upwork last month and saw that only about 36% of freelancers in the US do this as their main job. I always thought the number was way higher, like most of us were doing it full-time. It made me realize how many people are probably just trying to make ends meet with side gigs. Has anyone else seen stats that made them rethink the freelance world?

Actually, that sounds about right to me.

Read an article last week that backed up a similar point. It had some good data from a recent study on the subject. The findings were pretty clear and made a lot of sense. Kind of changes how you look at the whole thing.

Disagree, I see it another way.
