    Forbes[^]:

    According to The Freelancer’s Union, one in three Americans (roughly 42 million) is an independent worker. And by 2020, many predict that freelancers will make up 50% of the labor force.

    "Gunmen. Nowadays, men are cheaper than guns."

      No strict timings of work we can use our time as we like and enjoy it as we live.

        I read that; the article makes it out to be the best thing that ever happened.. the reality though, is that the vast majority of these 'contractors', make very little money, are disposable labor with no benefits and no security. The model is being adopted as a means of circumventing labor laws and placing all of the control in the hands of the employer..

          Absolutely right. Sad (and I have to admit I do like being a freelancer - sometimes), but it is definitely benefiting many company's bottom line.

            I sometimes think that the world in a hundred years will be much like it was in that old Charlton Heston movie 'Soylent Green'.. minus the people eating.. I hope ;o)
