Some channel, I think How Money Works, broke down some recent statistics that were doing the rounds in the capitalist press and why they actually spell doom for the job market. New business registrations are at record highs - but that's because more and more people are giving up on the job market and deciding to try their luck at a small business instead, not to mention people who have a job but are starting a business anyway because it doesn't pay enough, stuff like that.

Anyway I'm one of those people, and I've found that I really like working for myself even if it kinda sucks at times. idk what industry you're in or what credentials you have but if you can make a play for 1099s I would do it.
