Meet the best freelance programmers from each country

Why hire a freelancer? Even in today’s era, full of technology and progress, this question still has a lot of relevance.

After all, these professionals, highly trained by the way, are still competing against a conventional market that perceives a job in terms of full workdays, a specific place to work and clear tasks assigned to everyone.

However, freelancers are not far from this perspective, they have simply chosen to place their office behind the computer and communicate thanks to today’s 2.0 tools to be able to serve clients from all over the world.

That is why there are more people every day who decide to take on this lifestyle, which more than a job in itself, we can say that it’s a way to guide their talents and skills.

Although it is difficult to determine the amount of freelancers in the world, some studies have tried to get close, analyzing the behavior of the labor market in countries like the United States – the world’s leading economy– and in conglomerates such as the European Union, another solid economy.

In this case, we are going to quote an interesting study carried out during 2017, by the McKinsey Global Institute. It consisted in interviewing more than 7,000 people belonging to the US and European workforce, to know their income and the status of satisfaction with the work they did or are doing.

Although the study includes different perspectives of independent work, they showed that between 20 and 30% of the working population, at least once, has obtained income through freelance work and has enjoyed this work experience much more.

On the other hand, the Freelancers Union team studied the percentage of people in the U.S. that were freelancers in 2017, showing around 53.7 million, coming from 53 million during 2014.

This perspective does not escape from Latin America either. Thus, we can cite our 2018 independent work report, where we analyze that the highest hiring trends are in the areas of online marketing, internet product sales, IT and programming, responding to entrepreneurs’ need to continually adapt to the 2.0 world.

If you are one of them and you want to get in trend, you will need to have programmers, and freelancers are a very good option to obtain conclusive results. To help you choose faster and especially more securely, today we will present you some of the best profiles of each country.
