Pakistan Becomes World’s Third Biggest Contributor of Online Labor

A report published by the International Labour Organization (ILO) reveals that Pakistan is the world’s third-largest purveyor of technical manpower for online services.

The ILO report covers a client pool based in developed countries, with the United States of America (USA), the United Kingdom (UK), Australia, and Canada as the top demanding countries.

Software development and technology were the most sought-after occupations, and other areas like translation, financial, and design and software development services were also in high demand.
