The benefits system is failing independent contractors, freelancers, and gig workers. Then again, it never worked for them in the first place.
More workers are moving into the Independent Economy than ever before, with an estimated 68 million individuals in the US earning part-time or full time income outside of a traditional workplace. They’re doing all sorts of work across nearly every industry. They’re picking up extra hours as a gig worker or going into business for themselves as a company of one, or they’ve discovered after moving to remote during the pandemic that they want the freedom and flexibility of working wherever they want.
Whatever they do and however they do it, independent workers all have a major pain point in common: benefits.
