This is useful information.

This is why I tell freelancers that they shouldn't be studying the "most widely used" skills.

They should study the "most in demand" skills.

Totally different things.

Does Upwork really need more generalist WordPress freelancers?

Does Upwork need more fiction writers?

Does Upwork need more translators?

Does Upwork need more SEO workers?

(Hint: No.)
