Don't Let the Pandemic Hype Fool You, This Stock Has a Lot More to Offer

A study showed that 36% of the US workforce has freelanced during the pandemic, a necessity for some as businesses in industries affected by COVID-19 were forced to shut down or lay off workers. Freelancing platform Fiverr International (NYSE: FVRR) has been among the companies helping people turn their skills into income.

But don't make the mistake of assuming that this company needs COVID to grow. Here are three reasons why Fiverr will continue to thrive well past the pandemic.

Freelancing has slowly grown in the U.S. over many years, from 17% of full-time workers in 2014 to 28% in 2019; in Europe, it's grown 45% over the same time period. Younger workers often appreciate the benefits of freelancing; these include flexibility to work on their own schedules, potentially higher pay, and work-from-home settings that many prefer because they feel like their own bosses.
