I think we can officially claim that Brooklyn is THE land of freelancers. In fact, according to Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce, out of 2,6 million Brooklyn residents 73,500 are self-employed.  And as a Bushwick resident you are likely to be one of them. While employers train their employees, as a freelancer you are in charge of advancement of your career, which includes networking and education. You should therefore definitely mark April 20 in your calendar (or better yet register) for Brooklyn Freelancers Summit presented by the Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce, in partnership with LiquidTalent, is coming up!
