Hello everyone, I would like to ask you how people who work for "themselves" are called.In Greek there is a general term "free professionals".Also, if you work for the state you are a public /civil servant but how do we call people who work for other people? Private employees??? Thanks a lot! Dora

Hi Dora...
A freelancer, freelance worker, or freelance is somebody who is self-employed and is not committed to a particular employer long term.
