Georgia is the 7th best place to be located if you are freelancing or thinking about freelancing in 2023.

What is Freelancing?

Freelancing is a form of self-employment. Instead of working for a specific company you call the shots. Who you offer your services to for a certain amount of time is all up to you as a freelancer. Also, you are able to live anywhere you please.

Georgia is one of the best places to be located as a freelancer in the United States. Georgia comes in the top 10 spot at number 7. Texas came in at the number 1 location for freelancing.

Here is a chart of the full list.
