Best freelance job boards for 2014

As freelance designers and developers, we do want high quality work rather than cheap sweatshop labor. Unfortunately, places such as  Elance and Fiverr has significantly impact how much freelancers can earn. The best option then is to look for jobs that want high quality work, rather than compete in marketplaces where price is the only determining factor.  You might get less jobs but each job is definitely more rewarding as well as giving you higher monetary value.
