In this conversation geared to "the self-employed and part-time" worker, the part-time worker disappeared from the conversation rather quickly and most of the advise is useless to that employment category.
And the rest is mostly useful to the highly skilled self-employed contractor as those forced into it through labour market weakness and uncertainty are often lacking in the financial literacy required to understand the big picture.
In our current "pro business" world view, people are indeed human resources.
Just ask those commentators that use leftie, socialist and pathetic in most of their conversations.
