A lot of contractors with a few employees, raising unemployment.

- Matticus_Rex 7y agoAs opposed to unemployed people who get those things easily?
- Someone1234 7y agoAs opposed to the thing I said it was opposed to: Stable employment.
- Matticus_Rex 7y ago... for a few, and unemployment for more. I'm calling out the quiet part. It's easy to say "This will lead to better jobs available." It's not as easy (but should be required) to say "... but not for everyone, and a bunch of people will be completely out of work."
- ralusek 7y agoI'm a contractor, I pay health insurance out of pocket. Wouldn't trade it for any employment situation. Unstable employment leads to more fluid job markets, which in my experience has led to a more accurate reflection of the value of someone's work...for better or for worse.
- jayd16 7y agoBut unemployment is low, so why not focus on job quality?
- Matticus_Rex 7y agoThe job market does a lot of competing on quality already.
