In response, 73% of individuals surveyed intend to begin or continue working as freelancers, and 66% of those individuals intend to either join or continue working on a freelance platform such as HostRooster.
In addition, the study found that raising take-home income is a priority for workers in the United States, with 29% wanting to ask for a raise and 34% preparing to draw into savings in order to accomplish this goal.
