New Study Shows Rise in Independent by Choice Workers over Traditional Employment

MBO Partners

A new study from MBO Partners highlights a transformative shift in the American labor market, revealing a 6.5% increase in full-time independent workers, now reaching 27.7 million, since last year. Nearly one in five independent workers now earn more than $100,000 annually, reflecting the expanding economic opportunities offering Americans options from traditional employment toward the freedom and flexibility of self-employment. “This 6.5% growth in full-time independents signals a clear rejection of the traditional employer-employee social contract,” said Miles Everson, CEO of MBO Partners. “The concept of stable benefits, job security, and mutual loyalty is unraveling. Our study found that 65% of full-time independent workers feel more secure in their careers, and their confidence is reflected in their decision to pursue autonomy and forge their own paths.” MBO’s State of Independence report, The Independent by Choice Movement: Authentic and Intentional, now in its 14th year, shows that 72.7 million Americans are choosing independent work in 2024. Millennials and Gen Z are at the forefront of this movement, with their combined share of the independent workforce rising from 52% in 2023 to 59% in 2024. As traditional employment loses its appeal, these younger generations are redefining career success, prioritizing flexibility, purpose, and financial independence over conventional job structures. Additional insights from the 2024 study include: Traditional Employment is on Shaky Ground The study reveals that 34% of traditional jobholders fear losing their jobs, while 42% are considering a career change this year. In contrast, 65% of full-time independents feel more secure, and nearly 60% say their work aligns with their identity, compared to just 47% of traditional workers. As the employer-employee social contract frays, traditional jobholders question employer commitment to retaining talent. Many workers are switching jobs more frequently or transitioning to independent work, with job tenure steadily declining. Independent by Choice Drives a Bold New Era of Self-Directed Careers In 2024, 61% of independent workers chose this path by choice, not necessity, with only 10% saying they felt forced into it. Confidence in independent work is growing, with 65% of full-time independents feeling more secure than in traditional jobs, and 54% saying they wouldn’t return to payroll employment. Independent work is now seen as a viable career strategy, with 4.7 million independents earning over $100,000 annually, up from 3 million in 2020. This shift represents a growing movement toward autonomy and purpose, not just a fallback option. AI and Global Reach Fuel Independent Growth In 2024, the number of full-time and part-time independent professionals providing services to businesses surged by 14%, reaching 11.2 million. These independents are climbing the value chain, leveraging specialized skills and generative AI—65% now use AI tools, up sharply from 37% in 2023. AI has become a game changer, enhancing productivity and competitiveness, leading to a rise in six-figure earners. Additionally, thanks to platforms, marketplaces, and social media, the global reach of independent workers is expanding. In 2024, 31% reported providing services to customers outside the U.S., nearly triple the proportion from 2012. “More people are turning to independent work,” Everson added. “This is not just a trend - it’s an inspiring shift, with a workforce determined to redefine success on its own terms.” About MBO Partners®​ MBO Partners is a global talent solutions platform designed to optimize the engagement between enterprise clients and high value independent workers. MBO’s comprehensive enterprise solutions allow clients to source exceptional talent, scale their independent workforce and optimize their workforce management practices. With vast experience and industry expertise, MBO helps you build a better, independent workforce for the future. For more information, visit mbopartners.com.

SPARK Microsystems to Demonstrate Bit-Perfect Wireless Audio Delivery at AES Show 2024 NY

SPARK Microsystems

SPARK Microsystems, a Canadian fabless semiconductor company specializing in next-generation short-range wireless communications, will showcase an industry-first breakthrough in wireless audio delivery at AES Show 2024 NY (October 8 -10, Jacob Javits Convention Center, New York). At the event, SPARK will share the results of an exhaustive third-party expert analysis comparing SPARK ultra-wideband (UWB) digital audio performance versus the performance delivered with a digital wire. On Thursday, October 10, 11AM in Demo Room 3D04, audio industry expert Jeff Anderson will present an audio transmission data comparison of UWB and straight S/PDIF wire links at data rates up to 24 bits and 96Ks/s. In a major breakthrough for the audio industry and a giant leap beyond legacy Bluetooth wireless, the results will show that SPARK UWB audio delivery is indistinguishable from a wired transmission, exhibiting bit-perfect fidelity. Data shows that the SPARK UWB transmission scheme delivers a pristine, uncorrupted audio bit depth at ultra-low latency. Headsets, speakers and audio equipment harnessing this bit-perfect performance profile can deliver wired-like sound quality – without the wires. AES Show 2024 NY attendees are invited to experience SPARK’s breakthrough wireless audio quality for themselves via demonstrations of SPARK’s headset demo kit. Delivering pristine uncompressed 96kHz 24-bit audio quality, the SPARK UWB audio technology featured in the headset design ensures that listeners can enjoy their music and entertainment with flawless sound fidelity. SPARK’s headset demo kit offers support for up to 96kHz stereo audio and a 48kHz 16-bit microphone back channel with an impressive low latency of sub-7ms, making the technology ideal for applications where clear, uninterrupted communication is essential. SPARK audio technology far outperforms legacy Bluetooth in data throughput, low latency and power efficiency, while enabling lower latency and significantly lower power consumption than Wi-Fi-based audio technologies to ensure longer battery life. “SPARK’s reputation for audio excellence has been embraced by prestigious audio brands from Focal to Sonus Faber,” said Fares Mubarak, Chief Executive Officer, SPARK Microsystems. “Expert analysis now affirms what these brands and their discerning customers already know – SPARK’s wireless audio delivery performance is unrivaled. I’m looking forward to meeting with attendees, customers and stakeholders at AES Show 2024 NY to discuss the future of wireless audio delivery.” AES Show 2024 NY attendees are invited to visit SPARK Microsystems at Booth 542 for live demonstrations of SPARK’s headset demo kit.
