    In 1997, author Dan Pink noted in an article in Fast Company magazine that there were approximately 25 million "free agents" in the US. A free agent, much like in sports, is a person who does not have any commitments that     31    their actions, and it includes all     32    jobs. Free agents are also referred to as contract workers, consultants and freelancers. They don't receive health care     33    , unemployment insurance or collective-bargaining rights. Free agents work with     34    clients on a variety of projects based on their unique set of abilities.
    In 2011, Kelly Services found that the     35    of free agents had grown to 44 million as Americans desired more freedom, flexibility and ways to get     36    for their professional skills. Recently, a study by MBO Partners projected that there could be 70 million free agents by 2020, creating a workplace environment with more free agents than full-time employees. That shows that we're     37    from an economy that supported full-time employment and benefits to one where professionals have multiple jobs     38    .
    Companies are hiring more free agents than ever before because they     39    money and acquire niche (合适的) expertise to solve specific business problems. This is     40    from full-time salaried workers who get benefits and are generalists in their fields. In 2009, companies hired 28% more freelancers, and now in 2012, they are hiring 36% more, reports CareerBuilder.
