>The whole point is that people are, en masse, concluding that they do not derive more value from being employed by a large corporation than they do working independently or on a smaller scale. Are they? According to the BLS the percentage of people who are self-employed is lower than it was 2004-2006. It increased during the start of covid but hasn't gone up since then. Going from "we don't want to put as much effort into corporate jobs that won't reward us for it" to "we want to be self-employed" is a big stretch that numbers don't justify.
