The coronavirus pandemic has wreaked havoc on the global jobs market, leaving many unemployed, furloughed or working reduced hours as employers implemented sweeping cost-cutting measures.

新冠疫情已经对全球就业市场造成了严重破坏，雇主们实施大规模降低成本的措施，导致许多人被解雇、临时停职或减少工作时间。

Yet, one workforce that has weathered the storm better than most is the freelance market. That segment of the workforce has seen a surge in demand — even as full-time work has collapsed, according to a new report from online freelance market place Freelancer.

然而，有一支劳动力队伍在一片颓势中逆势上扬，那就是自由职业者。根据在线自由职业市场Freelancer网站的一份新报告，就在全职工作衰减的同时，自由职业劳动力的需求却见涨。
