Not a typo. My point was supporting the notion that publishing houses are doing away with employees and hiring 1099 contract workers from home on an as needed basis. Work would come in randomly and be due in a week. Instead of paying one FTE $35K plus benefits, they were paying presumably two contractors $6K each per year. $12K per year vs $35K is a huge savings for them. Also, it is more efficient, since the monthly magazine tended to have very busy periods and very slow periods during the month.
