Freelancer Happiness Survey

Don't know if anyone else has seen this crop up in Google News, so thought I'd share.

Basically, one of the big contractor accountant groups in the UK has released the results of their "contractor attitude survey" with some very interesting percentages. The video is good if you're lazy like me.

As some of you know, I work full time, but do a little sole trading on the side. This is the plan until I get enough work to become a full time freelancer, so this kind of stuff really gives me hope.

To sum it up, their survey found that:
57% found contracting has improved their work/life balance
77% found to have a higher job satisfaction when contractor compared to being an employee
Two thirds of contractors saw the state of the contracting market to be positive
Over three quarters of contractors feel positive about the general outlook, despite just under a third had seem a decrease in rates in the last six months.
47% of contractors haven’t seen a change in their daily rate over the last 6 months.
76% don’t miss the benefits of being an employee, such as sick pay.

Does this sound about right to you guys?
