6 years of unrelenting government attacks on our freedom to be our own bosses, condensed into a 5-minute speech and these 2 key sentences: "This is not targeting employee misclassification. This is weaponizing regulatory language to attack independent contractors."
New from me: New research from Fiverr says there are 6.9 million "skilled independent workers" in the United States earning a combined $319 billion in revenue. This research builds on other key reports about independent contractors in recent months. freelancebusting.com/p/the-skilled-…
New from Fiverr about independent professionals in creative services, skilled technical services and skilled professional services "In 2024, there were an estimated 6.9 million skilled independent workers in the United States earning a combined $319 billion in revenue.…
First, we were told we had to restrict the freedom of independent contractors in order to solve a misclassification crisis. Now, the usual suspects are claiming we have to restrict the freedom of independent contractors to solve an affordability crisis. prospect.org/2025/12/03/79-…
When I'm not advocating for freelancers, I actually do some freelance writing. Psyched to see my first story for Internal Auditor in the new issue. It's about how various types of companies are thinking about the many challenges data centers can pose. iia.mydigitalpublication.com/december-2025/…
ICYMI: Yesterday at the State House in Trenton, I explained to the Senate Labor Committee why it gives all of us pause that they chose to consider a bill entirely about the independent-contractor status of … golf caddies.
New from me: In Trenton today, I urged New Jersey lawmakers to think about more than golf caddies, and instead to protect all independent contractors from what's happening with proposed rulemaking at the state's Labor Department. freelancebusting.com/p/we-need-more
They passed the golf caddie bill out of committee—but I was pleased that Labor Committee Chairman Gordon Johnson offered to meet with me to discuss the need to protect us all 😊
A hearing is at 1 p.m. today in Trenton about the bill to protect golf caddies (and only golf caddies) as independent contractors I will be there, and I will post a report later today or tomorrow Most traditional media will be elsewhere covering this: newjerseyglobe.com/legislature/sc…

Several friends in full-time jobs asked me over the holiday weekend how I work, what skills I have, because they are nervous about their job futures (economy, AI, etc.) and want other income options There could not be a worse time to restrict independent contractors
Layoffs and job instability have made career security less tied to full-time roles. Freelancing lets you diversify your income and regain control of your future. More options mean more stability.
What’s happening right now in New Jersey is a policy battle between entrepreneurism and extremism 99% of about 9,500 written public comments on file at NJDOL oppose the Department’s proposed independent-contractor rule. Many of these comments come from entrepreneurial people…
A hearing on this golf-caddie bill is scheduled for Monday in New Jersey. No bills are scheduled to be heard to protect the independent-contractor status of others in the NJDOL crosshairs: attorneys, translators, nurses, physical therapists… Just the golf caddies.
New from me: A hearing is now scheduled in New Jersey for a bill that would protect golf caddies' independent-contractor status. A public comment filed with the New Jersey Labor Department about its proposed rulemaking specifically cited this bill. freelancebusting.com/p/the-golf-cad…
I am grateful for the freedom to earn a living, and for everyone who helps to protect it 🫶
The smallest of small businesses are run by independent contractors. Perhaps our state could begin by rescinding the proposed NJDOL rule that is currently threatening to wipe these existing small businesses completely out of business...
On Day One, my administration will get to work to save you time and money and make it easier to start and grow a small business in New Jersey. Here’s how.
As always, @KevinKileyCA is a superhero fighting for all self-employed Americans in Congress
In California, Independent Contractors have faced relentless attacks from AB 5 and the Newsom Administration. Now, their healthcare costs are about to double if premium tax credits expire. Our bill provides temporary relief, reduces fraud, and doesn't increase spending.

The bill to protect the independent-contractor status of golf caddies in New Jersey is back Scheduled for a hearing December 1
New bill just introduced in New Jersey, Senate (S4898) and Assembly (A6147) versions now visible on the state's website. Can't see the full bill text yet, but what caught my eye is the language in the bill description: "Lowers minimum amount of uninsured and underinsured…
Say it louder, leaders of Ocean County, New Jersey! 👏👏👏 “Not every contractor is being exploited. There are many who choose independence because it fits their lives, and Trenton shouldn’t take that choice away." njbia.org/ocean-county-l…
