Upwork (UPWK) has been one of the most surprisingly on-theme stocks to invest in this year amid the surge in remote work. The small internet platform, previously known primarily as a gig-based freelancer site, has long held sway in the remote-work sphere and assigning temporary contract workers to different short-term assignments, many for tech companies. Now, however, as many more companies explore the possibility of filling their labor pool with remote and temporary skilled contractors, companies like Upwork are moving into the spotlight.
