The digital nomad lifestyle has officially moved from niche subculture to mainstream workforce reality. By 2025, an estimated 18.1 million Americans identified as digital nomads — a 147% increase from 7.3 million in 2019 — making location-independent work one of the most significant shifts in American professional life in a generation. Globally, the digital nomad population has surpassed 40 million, with Americans accounting for roughly 44% of that total.
The way Americans run businesses has fundamentally changed.

Of all small businesses currently operating in the United States, 55% are home-based, and 85.8% are run by a single person. The solo entrepreneur, the remote freelancer, the online retailer, the digital nomad business owner, and the expat managing a U.S. company from abroad have collectively become the defining business profile of our era.
