The freelance economy continues to flourish: By 2027, more than half of the US workforce will be freelancers, some studies predict. And nearly half of millennials say they currently engage in freelance work in some way, with the top reasons being a desire for a more flexible schedule, working from home, and being your own boss.

Some 85% of freelancers work from their home office, according to new data from FlexJobs. The site also identified the top 25 companies hiring remote freelancers in 2019 so far, for positions across industries, including IT.
