According to data from the 2019 MBO Partners State of Independence study, 83% of full-time independent workers report working remotely at least some of the time, and 31% report working remotely full-time.
As the study chart below shows (click to enlarge), this is substantially higher than what traditional full-time job holders report.
That full-time independent workers are more likely to work remotely than full-time traditional job holders is no surprise.
But that almost 1 in 3 three work remotely full-time is a bit surprising and illustrates the growing nomadic nature of work.
This is in large part being driven by improvements in the technology that support remote work.
Online video and chat services make it easy to connect and communicate with customers and partners, online content creation tools and cloud storage enable work to be done and delivered from remote locations, and online marketplaces provide remote access to new customers.
Another driver is the growing acceptance by hiring organizations that remote workers can be highly valuable and productive contributors.
A 3rd driver is, of course, more people want to work remotely.
