Added Brown, "During the fourth quarter, Upwork surpassed$15 billion in lifetime talent earnings. This achievement highlights the magnitude of impact we have had and signals how we are leading the global movement to reimagine work."

Revenue in the three months ended in December rose to$136.9 million, yielding a net loss of 5 cents a share.

Analysts had been modeling$131 million and negative 5 cents per share.

Upwork said its measure of the total value of labor sourced in its marketplace, called the gross services volume, rose by 35% to$980 million
