DESCRIPTION
Elance-oDesk, the global leader in online work, released our first Global Online Work Report showing global trends in online work. As an increasingly connected and independent workforce goes online, talent—like software, shopping and communications before it—is shifting to the cloud. This shift is making it faster and easier for businesses to hire for the skills they need, when they need them, while freeing professionals from set time and place work.
