What the CARES Act Means to Enterprises and Independent Workers

Today’s independent workforce is strong and confident, finds MBO Partners’ 9th annual State of Independence in America Report, the longest-running, comprehensive look at the independent workforce. Independents—the 41 million adult Americans who work as consultants, freelancers, contractors, temporary, or on-call workers—are a powerful economic force, generating $1.28 trillion of revenue for the U.S. economy last year.

MBO Partners State of Independence 2019

MBO Partners

The 2018 MBO Partners State of Independence in America paints a nuanced picture of the 42 million Americans who work independently as independent professionals, contractors, consultants, freelancers, side giggers and more. In this eight year of the report, the longest-running comprehensive look at the independent workforce, American independents emerge as strong, mature, and satisfied. Even amidst record low unemployment and the strongest jobs market in decades, independent work remains a viable and desirable career path. "People from all industries choose to become independent professionals,” says Gene Zaino, CEO of MBO Partners. “The key word here is 'choose.'" With each passing year, independent workers grow in both popularity and in size. “Independent work and traditional jobs are not engaged in a zero-sum fight, but rather, growing in unison," says Zaino. Independent work is or has been a part of nearly 47% of American’s careers, a number that is poised to swell to 52% in the next five years. In the 2018 study, four key trends emerged, each of which mirrors trends in the overall economy. Traditional jobs aren’t going away. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the US economy has added payroll jobs for 93 straight months, the unemployment rate is 4 percent, and there are 6.7 million open jobs. Full-time independence continues to be a viable and attractive option for many professionals, especially for those with in-demand skills. Companies are growing more comfortable working with independents, utilizing their skills in strategic positions, and paying them more. As a result, the number of High-Earning Independents, those earning more than $100,000, continues to rise—to 3.3 million. Satisfaction among Full-Time independents remains high as well. The need for-and interest in-part-time independent work continues to grow. Economic pressures and the continued growth of platforms and technology are contributors to this uptick in interest and size. The new norm is now more likely to be a mix of traditional and independent experience throughout one's lifespan. An individual's career path may include working at a payroll job, working as a Full-Time Independent, and having a side gig while employed at a payroll job. It’s not necessarily an either-or choice. Independents remain a powerful economic force, contributing more than $1.3 trillion annually to the economy, more than 6.7% of U.S. GDP. The scale is growing globally as well; one in five serve customers outside of the United States as well as domestically. This year's study underscores that independence will remain a viable and desired option for workers in the years to come. For more information, visit mbopartners.com/state-of-independence

Business professionals know that it has become increasingly difficult to find, recruit, and maintain top independent talent. In fact – it’s practically a war zone out there. So…how do you keep the talent you have, and continually attract top new talent at the same time? The answer is surprisingly simple: keep your independent contractors and consultants happy— and stay compliant. But how? On November 12th, Terri Gallagher, owner and CEO of Gallagher and Consultants, a leading workforce strategy solutions company, joined us to discuss how to best utilize the 30.2 million full- and part-time Independents currently in the workforce. "Leveraging Independent Contractors: A Solution for the Talent War" explored both how organizations can become a client of choice for top talent, as well as how independent consultants can make themselves more attractive to companies.
