Not in my business. More and more companies are using "independent contractors" in construction to avoid workers comp, unemployment, etc, giving them a 20-40% advantage on their labor portion of their bids. The IRS is doing nothing. Obamacare is making it worse, and giving even more incentive to cheat.
Too bad future generations aren't here to see all the great things we are spending their $$ on!!
