Three key research errors undermine the validity of the DC instant delivery study: Methodological errors, misleading presentation of results, and recommendations not supported by the evidence reported
Hi, Dr. P. Thanks once again for sharing your knowledge and how freelancers are not given the choice of the question: "Do you want to be full-time?" Based on the quotes in your article, I suspect the majority of drivers would have answered no. (Note: I didn't read the original report, and I suspect doing so would cause me too much angst.) I'm a social sciences academic editor, and I agree with all of your points. Without context, statistics are just meaningless numbers followed by a percent symbol. Thank you for all you do to point out that those pushing "misclassification" on freelancers are not looking at the evidence as freelancers see it.
Hi Lila, thanks for your comment and sharing your excellent point. It does seem there is a tendency to assume that freelancers are just "misclassified employees" and many seem to overlook the reality of the situation for (most) independent contractors and freelancers.
