2.7 billion is a big number

This number represents the deskless workforce and nearly 80% of the entire global workforce. It's made up of amazing people, who are the foundation of our society, like the healthcare worker who take care of our loved ones, the delivery driver making sure we get our latest online orders on time, the bartender serving us a drink after a long day, and the grocery store worker restocking the shelves.   

In The State of the Deskless Workforce 2021, we look into what these incredible workers need and want, and what their everyday challenges are.

Who did we ask?

The deskless workforce are often seen as hourly or shift employees. They don't always sit in front of a computer and can’t necessarily access their mobile phone.  

We asked 10,140 of them across ten countries and industries, such as hospitality, logistics, retail, and healthcare.
