-Our findings were arrived at by searching Upwork platform for the number of top rated plus, top rated and rising talent. To do so, you need to have a client account. The maximum number of these freelancers you can search in the platform is 5,000.

So, by setting the URL search page as 500<ref>https://www.upwork.com/ab/profiles/search/?pt=independent</ref>, you will be able to arrive at the number of these high quality freelancers. Below are the steps followed;
+Step 1: Log in to Upwork using a client account.

+Step 5: Click on "accounting and consulting" category as shown in screenshot 3

+Step 8: Click on the URL link and tap "ENTER"
+Step 9: Scroll down to the bottom of the page and look at the last page reached. Multiply the page number by 10 as each page has 10 freelancer profiles. However, remember that the last page may have fewer profiles; hence you have to count the profiles mannually and subtract the deviation from the number arrived at when you intially assumed that each page has 10 profiles.
+Step 10: Repeat step 5 to 8 above while changing the job category.
+Step 11: Once you are done with the job categories for "top rated plus" , repeat the above steps for "top rated" and "rising talent".
+Step 12: Sum up the total number of freelancers in each job category and talent quality type to arrive at the total number of searchable freelancers.
+To find the number of top rated plus, top rated and rising talent in each country, just add the name of the country to the search filters above. For instance, in step 3, add U.S, India or Philippines as part of the filters as shown in screenshot 6.
