Outplacement firm Challenger, Gray and Christmas says an estimated 1 in 3 employees are now contingent workers, such as freelancers, contractors, consultants and temporary workers. CEO John Challenger says some estimates show they will grow to 50 percent of the workforce by 2020.


You can add to that job growth appears to be in the very low income areas much of that people with drive trying to find their way in a not so gracious economy.



For me reading this it gets confusing for incomes of freelancers are not always totally accurate about incomes and prefer low as low can go, so figures again can be deceptive.
