Two-thirds of Ukrainian office workers want to switch to freelancing: survey results.

Ukrainian office workers are increasingly interested in the opportunity to work as freelancers, according to research from the International Staffing Portal HeadHunter. Specifically, two-thirds of respondents expressed a desire to try their hand in this field.

However, only one in five people believe that freelancing increases work productivity.
