The workplace is evolving.
And all across North America, more and more people are choosing to become independent workers and consultants.
An independent worker is someone who is a consultant, a temp, or a small business owner. According to the third annual MBO Partners State of Independence Report, published in 2013, 17.7 million Americans deemed themselves to be independent workers in that same year. This survey reflected only those folks who work 15 or more hours per week as an independent.
Independent workers also create jobs. 1 out of every 4 independent workers has hired another person as either a subcontractor or an employee.
