urplus of freelancers out there and it’s just the beginning. Next year, there will be millions more freelancers, replacing full-time workers. Companies will hire experts to solve problems instead of full-time employees and save on benefit packages. This is due to the economy and how corporations operate now. One third of American workers are freelancers, reports NBC News。
我们不断耳闻有关自由职业者供大于求的消息，这仅仅是个开端。明年，美国将涌现出数百万自由职业者，取代全职员工。企业将聘请专家来解决问题，而非全职员工，从而节省福利开支。自由职业者的兴起与美国目前的经济形势和企业运营方式有关。据美国国家广播公司新闻网报道，现在美国有三分之一的劳动者是自由职业者。

It costs companies 1.7x as much to hire an external candidate. The top reason why millennials leave companies is lack of career opportunities. My research shows that companies are starting to give opportunities to their employees over anyone else. This also means that job seekers will suffer. Internal hiring is good for employee morale, saves them money and is quicker (weeks versus mon
