* The reason for the huge drop in the number of jobs requiring 2, 4 or 6 connects is because Upwork raised the maximum number of connects to 8 in March<ref>https://community.upwork.com/t5/Product-Release-Notes/Marketplace-Updates-Boosted-Proposals-and-Connects/ba-p/1269780#:~:text=2.%20We%E2%80%99ve%20reevaluated,submit%20a%20proposal</ref>. This probably shifted some jobs to the 8 connects category. Upwork seems to have also silently raised the maximum number of connects to 16 recently. Data provided by Upwork doesn't include the 8 connects category yet<ref>https://www.upwork.com/nx/jobs/search/?sort=recency&payment_verified=1</ref>. | |||
