My teammates @StartupRequests came out with the first major study on the 1099 Economy workforce, with a pay what you want deal exclusively for Product Hunters. The data paints a vivid picture of what the labor landscape looks like for 1000+ respondents of their survey, and the team also presents some fascinating insights. The report is useful for all interested in the future of work and related problems/opportunities - including investors, entrepreneurs, and freelancers themselves.
The report includes:
- Key findings & insights from a survey of over 1,000+ independent contractors in the 1099 economy
- Aggregate results of the survey with questions around lifestyle, earnings, sustainability, current needs, and future plans
- Over 20 interviews with entrepreneurs, investors, and workers on the forefront of the 1099 movement, including leading venture capital firms and CEOs
- A list of 100+ 1099/on-demand/sharing economy companies
@jmj Interesting! but maybe explain what a 1099 (Independent Contractors) is, since we're not all Americans ;)
This kind of report is interesting, the workforce is really moving towards being super fluid and more and more people are becoming independent contractors.
