Future Jobs Will Be Freelance Contract Jobs. No Employer Of Record.

Most of the jobs created since the Recession began are much worse than the jobs lost. They pay less and have no security and most are part time. Barbara Garson's Article, "Abracadabra, You're A Part-Timer......" on Truthout is a stark reminder that corporate America will continue to replace good jobs with bad ones indefinitely.

Welcome to the completion of the Reagan/GOP Revolution. I knew Reagan was the devil in 1981. America has been misled for all these years.

It can work, but few of us (including me), can come close or surpass what we were making while on staff full-time. And that's not including benefits like 401k, profit sharing, or health insurance either.
