We’re tickled to announce that oDesk saw more than 1 million hours worked online during the month of August. Just in time for Labor Day here in the United States, this milestone shows just how far the working world has come since the holiday was first initiated in 1882, and marks an increase of 118% in hours worked on oDesk over the same period just last year.
But a million is a big number, and a long time when you’re counting in hours. So, we tapped one of our 720,000 talented contractors to show you just how much can happen in one million hours.
To accomplish so much in such a short period of time, it’s obvious that online work is truly changing how the world works. The entire team at oDesk is so proud to have reached this milestone with our employers and contractors. In honor of Labor Day and this tremendous accomplishment, we congratulate online workers around the world over for many jobs well done!
THANKS.I WISH ALL SUCCESS OF ODESK

You could also watch the Star Wars movies 75,187 times, with enough time left over to watch your favorite one 5 more times, if you’re going for a less productive way to spend your million hours…
Woohoo! Congrats to all oDesk contractors. At the pace of Usain Bolt (100 m in 9.69 sec) – you could also have run around the Earth along the equator 927 times.
Looks like it’s official – the Empire State Building totally should’ve went with oDesk!
What’s the release date for oDesk Construction? With the last batch of terminology changes, you’ve already got the right words
(joking of course)
Pretty cool that a million hours a month are being worked. I’ve been seeing some other competitors to oDesk pop up lately, but I don’t think they compare at this point. Keep improving!
