National Freelancers Day 2011
Freelancers provide flexible solutions and are working hard with their clients to assist economic recovery. In a drive to gain wider recognition for the contribution that freelancers make to the UK economy, PCG launched National Freelnacers Day, which we continue to support and advertise.
The Prime Minister has applauded the growth in the freelance community as new research reveals a 12% increase in the number of people opting to become freelancers.
Figures released by Kingston University and PCG for National Freelancers Day show that the number of freelancers in the UK now totals 1.56 million1 or 1 in 20 in the UK workforce. This is up from the previous figure of 1.4 million, revealed by the University’s initial study in 2008.
