I guess small businesses include the so-called ZZP-er (freelancer), for many jobs paid pretty crappy. In the Netherlands, especially for low income jobs like packet delivery, many Dutch companies hire ZZP-ers these days, since it's easier to get rid off. It's really hard and expensive in The Netherlands to get rid of bad performing employees with a permanent contract, especially compared to the USA. Because of this reason many companies prefer to hire ZZP-ers currently. From recent statistics I understand we have approximately 800.000 ZZP-ers in the Netherlands or 1 per every 21 citizens.
