  5. The reason Why are Various Freelance Jobs Affected so Badly There are some of the freelancers who are well-versed with the risks when they decided to do a freelance job. Let’s take an example of it, and the freelancers knew that they are not eligible for any paid sick leave or health insurance offers by a company. Besides this, they are well-versed with the fact that they can not take government help for this.

Almost all these jobs can be done with the help of the internet, computer, and phone.  There are various companies who require the computer savvy and tech freelancers who can work for them. According to the Financial Times, in California, there are almost 15,852 tech jobs in the tech companies. That are moving to online work to maintain the pace of their businesses.
