That number seems 20X higher than what I would have expected. Either the bar to be a nomad is meaninglessly low (e.g., works occasionally from local coffee shop) or I've grown out of touch.

Recent college grads couch surfing and trying to make a career of blogging/youtubing? Are we counting the beach/ski bum sort? Migrant farm workers?

About 3% of the US workforce seems way high not to be including a bunch of stuff one wouldn't expect.
