Headlines often equate independent contracting with Uber and Lyft, but yet another study just showed that self-employed people are doing all kinds of work.
The FlexJobs data really drives home how badly the narrative misses reality. Nurses, therapists, and business analysts working independently face the same regulatory constraints as drivers, but nobody's writing about them. The <10% stat is wild - imagine crafting policy around a vocal minortiy while ignoring 90% of the affected workforce. That photo swap actually matters more than people think.

Right? It immediately expands the reader's understanding about the nature of the policy issue
...and makes one realize how reactive opinion can be formed on photo choice alone.
