For the most part, these are people with a high level of education, employed in the IT sector, media, creative professions, education, most often in managerial positions, as well as individual entrepreneurs.

Free employment - carding in world is in its infancy, but, like in other countries where it has already existed for a long time, carding has both positive and negative sides.

According to the results of online interviews and a secondary analysis of carding research, almost all the advantages of carding are associated with various manifestations of freedom: first of all, it is the ability to fully manage your time (flexible hours) (80% of carders mention this advantage), the ability to work remotely (65%), the ability choice in 2009, the number of registered users of the site free-lance.ru - the largest Internet portal about carding was 350 thousand people. By September 2011, this number had already approached 1 million, in April 2012 it exceeded 1,100 thousand people, and by the end of December 2012 there were more than 1,300 thousand interesting jobs (56%), as well as the absence of immediate supervisors (50 %).

The main negative features of free employment are the instability and unpredictability of future income (55%), high risks and the likelihood of fraud on the part of customers (44%), as well as a difficult search for new projects (29%), which is not surprising in a highly competitive carding market-services. In addition, among the main disadvantages is the lack of a social package and social benefits and guarantees (from 27% to 32%).
