If you haven’t already heard about it, over the last couple months 10x Management has worked hard to compile some data regarding the growth rate of demand for tech jobs, estimates for the number of people seeking freelance jobs, and the number of hours wasted by full-time employees on various activities throughout the week (time wasted on meetings, water cooler talk, and yes…the hours wasted on playing ping-pong) and much more. We compiled some of that data into real-time live counters as part of an easy to read infographic. Thinking long and hard about what to call the infographic we decided to dubb it, the – W2 Time Bomb.
Let us explain, with the data that we uncovered: the fact that by 2020, over 60 million Americans will be operating as freelance workers. And during that same period, it’s estimated that 2.2 million new tech jobs will be created, it will leave a huge gap in available full-time workers. This means that a significant number of companies will be forced to hire freelance workers, and with our wide-range of experience working with tech freelancers it’s a growing concern that only 50% of American companies are set-up to on-board and manage them correctly.
“The numbers are striking,” says Rishon Blumberg, our cofounder of 10x Management. “If U.S. companies want to continue to have access to the most talented tech developers, designers and other technologists, they will have no choice but to hire freelancers.” “It’s clear that the tech companies that are experts at bringing freelancers into their workflow will have a competitive advantage in the coming years,” says Rishon.
