Submitted by rruggia on Fri, 08/03/2018 - 12:30

Cada vez más profesionales de América Latina trabajan ‘online’ para compañías globalizadas, cobran muy bien en moneda dura aunque a costa de resignar condiciones laborales. Los argentinos son los mejor pagados, por encima de los mexicanos y brasileños, aunque éstos representan el 50% de la oferta regional al mayor mercado global de trabajo independiente del mundo: la tercerización en ‘freelancers’.
