 * Market dynamics play a role in determining the number of searchable freelancers<ref>https://community.upwork.com/t5/Support-Forum/About-not-related-search-results/m-p/1120823↵↵https://community.upwork.com/t5/Freelancers/Algorithm-how-Upwork-sorts-Freelancers/m-p/135262</ref>. In this case, we believe that job categories that have higher job posts will have a higher searchable limit.
 It's probably a good move for Upwork to restrict the number of searchable high quality freelancers to around 100k as this ensures the platform's quality continue to grows i.e those freelancers who are starting out get a chance to be hired and build a reputation. However, this policy reduces the supply of high quality freelancers. Therefore, since at the moment, the supply of jobs exceed the supply of high quality freelancers, some clients may end up hiring freelancers with no reputation at all. If these freelancers screw up, clients might be discouraged to keep hiring in the platform.
+It is important to note that without basing on Upwork badges, Upwork has a large number of educated freelancers. According to Upwork 2021 presentation, 73% of Upwork freelancers had college degrees while 21% had post-graduate degrees.
