Contract life "Sorry but I'm working with another client right now I will get back to you" You bill more per hour; you bill less than 40 hrs/wk; you get higher pay but have to pay full cost of insurance; it averages out.

I find it interesting to compare the written narrative vs the graphs. The written explanation implies its entirely due to overly-generous unemployment compensation (the lazy youth meme that's millennia old). The graph in exhibit 10 im
