The result of Obamanomics...
“We find that 94% of net job growth in the past decade was in the alternative work category,” said Krueger. “And over 60% was due to the [the rise] of independent contractors, freelancers and contract company workers.” In other words, nearly all of the 10 million jobs created between 2005 and 2015 were not traditional nine-to-five employment.
i.e. the US has created a bunch of bartender/waiter jobs and not much else, and even his own advisors seem "surprised" by that.

You're not even addressing honda's point. A point which is surprisingly legit. Contract work is very appealing to some, especially highly motivated, high achievers.HoustonHusky said:

Most of these contract jobs aren't legit jobs. Most are multi-level sales jobs, which over half lose money on, and only about 10% make an honest livable wage.Blackie said:
