David Cameron praised the UK’s 1.4million freelance professionals yesterday, for what he called their “massive contribution” to the nation's economy.
The prime minister‘s comments, made in recognition of National Freelancers Day, also commended freelancers for being more courageous than 9-to-5 employees.
Mr Cameron said: “I can’t tell you how much admiration I have for people who leave the comfort of a regular wage to strike out on their own. It takes a lot of courage”.
Without freelancers the UK “would be a much poorer place,” the PM added in a letter to PCG, the group behind National Freelancers Day, which was introduced last year.
“The 1.4million freelancers in our country make a massive contribution to our economy,” Mr Cameron wrote.
“More and more people are choosing freelancing, recognising that it strikes the right balance between work and life in the 21st century, and as we go for economic growth this government is getting right behind them.”
