Freelance jobs grow despite AI, finds new data from Freelancer.com

FREELANCER.COM

Freelancer.com (ASX: FLN), the world’s largest freelancing and crowdsourcing marketplace by number of users and jobs posted, today released its quarterly Fast 50 Index for Q2 2024 based on data from 251,000 jobs posted to the platform. Computer Security (up 27.1% from 868 to 1,103 jobs) emerges as the fastest-growing freelance skill on Freelancer.com, based on job postings across more than 2,000 skill categories from April 1 to June 30, 2024. This trend in cybersecurity skills suggests more small-to-medium businesses are turning to freelancers for cyber security support, further backed by Network Administration (up 9.9%, from 1,229 to 1,351) also placing in the top 25 fastest growing jobs on the platform. The data also shows no negative impact on generative AI tools on freelance jobs, evident in the growth of Writing, Business Service, and Legal Skills seen in this quarter’s Fast 50 report, all of which were predicted to decrease with the rise in generative AI. PDF writing (up 26.7%, from 2,533 to 3,210) was the second fastest growing job, followed by third place being Microsoft Word (up 23.9%, from 3,368 to 4,173) projects which are also associated with content writing. Writing job Copy Typing came in at the 16th place, growing 11.6% (from 4,428 to 4,941). Legal jobs, which were expected to have been ‘at threat’ to AI, have also increased (up 12.0% from 1,138 to 1,274), as well as Legal Research (up 10.8% from 917 to 1,016). In addition to the index, Freelancer.com ’s annual AI survey, which surveyed more than 4,100 workers globally, investigated AI impact on income and the initial results are shedding light on earnings. When asked how the introduction of AI tools have impacted earnings, more than half of workers (52.5%) reveal they’re earning either the same or more. One fifth (19.2%) say that they’re earning a lot more since generative AI tools were introduced, while only one sixth (17.7%) admit to earning less. “AI is creating more jobs than it takes. While many critics continue to speculate which jobs will be made redundant with AI tools, the data shows that freelance jobs which are labeled as the ‘most at risk to AI disruption’ are in fact growing. The preliminary results from our AI survey also dispel the myth that freelancer are earning less since the introduction of generative AI as more three quarters of workers we surveyed are either earning the same or earning more, with a subset taking advantage of AI and earning a lot more.” said Matt Barrie, Chief Executive at Freelancer.com. Cybersecurity threats are on the rise across all organizations, but are particularly harmful for small-to-medium sized businesses (SMBs) which have little-to-no security expertise and usually minimal protection. As a result, businesses turned to freelancers for help. In 2Q24, Computer Security jobs ranked as the fastest growing skills (up 27%), indicating there has been an uptick in cyber security threats targeting SMBs. Many of the projects posted throughout the quarter require help with network security, security assessments to identify potential vulnerabilities, and creation of cyber security response play books. General business services are also increasing on the platform as more employers are hiring freelancers to support their small businesses. A clear indication of this is the popularity of Market Research and Telemarketing jobs coming in as the fourth and fifth fastest growing skills in Q2 2024, up by 21.1% (from 1,525 to 1,859) and 19.4% (from 1,177 to 1,405), respectively. Other business related skills grew in Q2 2024, including Sales (up 15.5% from 3.467 to 4,005), Lead Generation (up 12.2% from 1,802 to 2,021) and Business Plans (up 10.9% from 1,197 to 1,328). A sudden increase in General business services means that many of the new businesses, which are usually started at the beginning of the year, now require further assistance in helping grow and scale their business. Fastest Falling Skills for Q2 2024 The main category of jobs that fell in Q2 2024 was eCommerce related jobs, which saw a significant increase in Q1 2024. Shopify Templates, ranked as the fastest falling skill and was down by 13% (from 1,476 to 1,284). CSS, which is commonly used in website development, was also down (11.8% from 9.486 to 8,368). Both WooCommerce (from 1.072 to 952) and Shopify (2,545 to 2,269) also fell in the quarter. The easing of eCommerce jobs in this quarter was mainly due to seasonality. Typically, entrepreneurs will start a business at the beginning of the year, requiring help to set up their websites or eCommerce platforms. From there, the entrepreneur either pivots to hiring freelancers for other business services, such as sales or research which we’ve seen in Q2 2024 fastest growing jobs, or are equipped with enough to run their business without any further help. Fastest Growing Overall Job The most popular online freelancing job by total volume is currently Graphic Design with almost double the amount of projects than the other top skills. Graphic Design is followed by PHP (programming), Photoshop, Website Design and HTML (programming). These are typically the best skills for any new freelancer to focus on initially when starting their freelancing journey. How Electronic Repairs Are Becoming the Fastest Growing Skill Globally Electronic Repairs has emerged as one of the fastest-growing job categories on the platform over the past year. In Q2 2024, it ranked 19th among the top 25 fastest-growing jobs, with a 10.7% increase (from 14,945 to 16,548 jobs). However, its most impressive growth is evident in the year-over-year comparison, where Electronic Repairs jobs surged by 162%, from 6,315 in Q2 2023 to 16,548 in Q2 2024. Electronic Repairs are in-person jobs where freelancers are deployed across select countries and cities to fix laptops, printers and computer hardware as part of the Freelancer Global Fleet Program. ##### Freelancer.com Fast 50 The Freelancer.com Fast 50 index is the world’s largest forward indicator of trends in online jobs related to industries, technologies, products, and companies.

HTX's "Trade to Earn" Achievements in Q2: $9 Million HTX Tokens Burned, Driving Platform Value Higher

HTX

On July 16, HTX announced that all $HTX repurchased from "Trade to Earn" events in the second quarter of 2024 had been entirely burned. The total amount burned was 7,791,971,428,156 $HTX, equivalent to approximately 9,000,000 USDT (Transaction Hash: 79d65bb23e6172da8a5caeb61ca43f67513e023c347c557e117532566bd142af). The burning of $HTX regulates the market's circulating supply, increasing the asset's scarcity, fostering stable value growth, and bolstering the confidence of $HTX holders. Moreover, this initiative also underscores HTX's strong commitment to its users and the broader community, affirming the belief in the platform's long-term value and sustainable development. More details: https://www.htx.com.cm/en-us/support/54975441179013 During the second quarter of 2024, HTX held 6 "Trade to Earn" events with BTC and ETH, attracting participation from over 20,000 users. These events led to the repurchase and burning of nearly 8 trillion $HTX. In the future, HTX plans to disclose on the 15th day of the first month of each quarter the amount of $HTX bought back and burned from the previous quarter's "Trade to Earn" events, aiming to enhance transparency and openness in event operations. HTX's launch of "Trade to Earn" is intended to enhance user trading experiences, minimize trading costs, and facilitate wealth appreciation, while effectively reducing the circulation of $HTX. By trading designated spot/perpetual futures pairs, users will have the opportunity to share in a daily mega prize pool. During the event period, all fee income generated from both designated spot trading pairs and registered users trading designated perpetual futures pairs will be fully utilized for $HTX buybacks. HTX‘s "Trade to Earn" event has seen widespread user participation and has received positive feedback since its launch. The burning of $HTX is a key component of HTX's deflationary strategy and a commitment fulfilled to its users. HTX upholds transparency and openness by publicly disclosing all details of the token burning process, ensuring that users and investors are informed about $HTX's real-time circulating supply and fostering trust in the platform. Furthermore, the buyback and burning of $HTX are integral to the collective efforts of HTX and the HTX DAO to cultivate a healthy and sustainable digital asset trading ecosystem. Both entities are dedicated to preserving and promoting the long-term prosperity of this ecosystem. About HTX Founded in 2013, HTX has evolved over a decade from a simple cryptocurrency exchange to a comprehensive blockchain business ecosystem.

Total Liquidity Pledge to HTX DAO Hits $42.5M After 2nd Round - Bolstering Decentralized Ecosystem

HTX DAO

HTX DAO has announced its receipt of the second Ecosystem Liquidity Pledge took place on July 16, 2024. Through this pledge, 80,223,880 TRX and 9,631,105,301,954.7 $HTX (worth 21,500,000 USDT) have been allocated to SUN.io to enhance liquidity and all LP tokens have been credited to a zero address. As of press, HTX DAO has reportedly received a total liquidity pledge of $42.5 million. The pledge details can be viewed based on the following transaction hash via TRONSCAN, the TRON blockchain explorer. (The amount of $HTX tokens contributed to liquidity is calculated based on the real-time price of $HTX.) 1. Adding Liquidity Hash: acd664c12d9c32e50dce2fd1c9efea4a6b19793949c515ed49ac06cb620e1331 2. LP Tokens Sent to Zero Address Hash: 4a3912ed71f10ca59fbcc2fd61378a4cc54171f78e10f4b091cb0c5aeedfb44e Learn more about the pledge: https://htxdao-1.gitbook.io/announcement-en According to HTX DAO, the Ecosystem Liquidity Pledge mechanism is an innovation crafted to build a decentralized community empowering the ecosystem and address security-related concerns and allegations of centralization. This carefully structured mechanism not only bolsters the resilience and self-sufficiency of the HTX DAO ecosystem but also ensures transparency and accountability in all its operations. As per the previous report, HTX DAO received the initial liquidity pledge on March 15, totaling $21 million. Additionally, the next pledge is slated for October 15, 2024. HTX DAO's liquidity pledge boasts several sources including a portion of the quarterly revenue from HTX (currently 50%) and contributions from other key HTX DAO participants. This pooled pledge is used to add liquidity for the $HTX token on decentralized exchanges, with the resulting LP tokens being permanently burned. It is noteworthy that any HTX DAO participant has the opportunity to voluntarily donate liquidity to $HTX or TRX. This safeguard improves the practicality and decentralization of asset management and ensures that no single pledger within the HTX DAO can exercise exclusive control over the treasury. A proactive approach is taken to manage liquidity in a decentralized fashion, which systematically addresses the matter of centralization in fund custodianship while simultaneously fortifying the security of the pool and $HTX applications. Founded on January 18, 2024, HTX DAO has enlisted 19 major builders to its ecosystem, including HTX, TRON, Poloniex, BitTorrent, Spark Digital Capital, APENFT, Stratified Capital, JustLend DAO, OIG Group, Double Peak, stUSDT, Zebec, USDD, ANKR, SUN.io, Merkle 3s Capital, WINkLink, TUSD, and Owlit Finance. These major builders are all prominent figures from various sectors within the blockchain industry. HTX DAO upholds exceptionally high standards in terms of transparency and community participation. Looking ahead, it fosters a diverse and dynamic landscape where contributors, innovators, and stakeholders collectively shape the trajectory of blockchain evolution.

Unlike traditional corporate structures, it adopts a decentralized governance structure composed of a diversified group, jointly committed to the success of this organization.

Laser Photonics Is Trailblazing With Advanced Lasers That Include Cutting-Edge Tech

Benzinga

By Meg Flippin, Benzinga Laser Photonics Corp. (NASDAQ: LASE) has emerged as a leader in laser cleaning and cutting technology, but that’s not the only area it’s trailblazing in. From next-generation laser systems to anti-drone solutions, LPC has many innovations in the pipeline. It shouldn’t come as a surprise. Laser Photonics, which traces its roots back to 1981, has long been recognized as a leading manufacturer of industrial-grade laser solutions for marking, engraving, cleaning and cutting. Leveraging its extensive experience in delivering cutting-edge laser-powered systems to industry leaders across diverse markets and its world-class R&D team, the company owns a number of licenses and patents for innovative and advanced laser products and technologies. The result: a new generation of vanguard laser blasting technologies and equipment that are automated, precise, non-abrasive, eco-friendly and emit no hazardous particles that can harm the operator. Laser Photonics says its technology also addresses the health, safety, environmental and regulatory issues associated with the old methods, which is why it counts Fortune 1000 manufacturers in the aerospace, automotive, defense, energy, industrial, maritime, space exploration and shipbuilding industries as customers. With a multi-billion-dollar market opportunity in laser cutting and cleaning alone, it would be easy for Laser Photonics to sit back and enjoy the ride, but that’s not in its DNA. Innovators at heart, LPC is taking its technology and industry prowess to new levels. Protecting The Skies Take the Laser Shield Anti-Drone System (LSAD), which LPC is testing with parent company, Fonon Corporation. Fonon is a multi-market holding company, R&D center, equipment designer and manufacturer of advanced laser material processing systems for subtractive and additive manufacturing. The two successfully tested a laser prototype that can destroy small-scale unmanned aerial systems (UAS) in conflict zones and expeditionary locations. The prototype was tested at LPC’s new state-of-the-art facility, which features an internal laser range. This enabled Laser Photonics and Fonon to evaluate the proof of concept under controlled conditions. The range served to test the lasers’ capabilities in terms of precision and effectiveness when it came to targeting and destroying distant objects. LPC said the facility will play a crucial role in developing LSAD. “Defense professionals worldwide are focused on anti-drone technology due to its increasing prevalence, which presents an opportunity for LPC and Fonon to collaborate on this project,” said Wayne Tupuola, CEO of Laser Photonics. “We believe that Fonon’s LSAD has the potential to become a must-have technology for modern defense infrastructures.” Mobile And On The Go Then there’s the company’s next-generation upgraded CleanTech laser cleaning systems, which it launched in May. Aimed at on-the-go applications, the new lasers include mobile connectivity for remote monitoring and control, a new compact form factor and a smart overheat protection feature for increased safety. The lasers can be used manually or through its new and improved Robotic Cell unit for automated cleaning. Laser Photonics said the CleanTech Next-Generation Laser Systems are the world’s most compact and portable Class I and Class IV systems in the market. Compact and portable lasers can be useful in many industries – including aviation, manufacturing and shipbuilding – to remove rust, grease, mold and other contaminants. “Modern challenges demand tech-savvy solutions,” says Tupuola. “We are thrilled to roll out our next generation of CleanTech systems. With our new technology improvements, we are ready to tap into diverse market segments and bring in new clients.” Building on its next-generation lasers for cleaning, the company also overhauled its lasers for cutting, rolling out the SaberTech laser-cutting systems. The line will include upgraded versions of the TiTAN Express and TiTAN FX high-power laser-cutting systems. These next-generation systems will feature Turbo Piercing technology, an invention that minimizes the heat-affected zone (HAZ) of the material being processed, thereby reducing material distortion caused by laser heat throughout the cutting operation. By providing fiber laser cutting, LPC gets access to untapped potential in the aerospace, automotive, maritime and defense industries. Taking It To The Next Level Turning the centuries-old multi-billion-dollar sand and abrasives blasting market on its head has always been the goal of Laser Photonics, but it is taking it to the next level with AI and IoT technology. Laser Photonics is adding both to its existing laser products for even more speed, precision and automation. Laser Photonics plans to provide on-site support and AI and IoT training, too, setting it apart from its rivals. The idea is to not only lead in laser cutting and cleaning but also expand through innovation. It's why the company has so many licenses and patents. Laser Photonics has been a leader in laser cutting and cleaning for decades and is taking that expertise to new heights and markets. Its anti-drone lasers and fiber laser-cutting systems are just the start, and many developments can be expected to continue to come from this innovator. Featured photo by Artem Bryzgalov on Unsplash.
