A new research study by Fiverr suggests that artificial intelligence is the core reason for layoffs, leading to increased freelancing opportunities for workers.
Employers increasingly turn to freelancers to manage overwhelming workloads post-layoffs, with 70% hiring freelancers and 43% offering access to them to reduce pressure.
40% of roles made obsolete were skills-based, indicating a shift towards valuing AI capabilities and freelancers' skill sets over permanent employees.
Freelancing allows laid-off workers to find high-paying remote jobs faster and offers flexibility in work hours, appealing to those with personal and family responsibilities.
