Biz Talk With Josh Smith
Thursday, June 21, 2012 The Economic Benefits of Preserving Independent Contracting
Dr. Philip J. Romero, professor of business administration at the University of Oregon's Lundquist College of Business, writes in September 2011: "independent contracting is a business arrangement in which a client firm contracts with a small business or an individual to perform work that may be performed by full or part-time employees at other firms within the same industry." Financial advisors, health caregivers, drivers and delivery people, physicians - all are examples of independent contractors -- and these entrepreneurs are also examples of our listener base, here at Biz Talk With Josh Smith on CBS Radio; as well as members of a critical segment of the small businesses that are keeping America competitive in a global economy.
Tune in this Thursday, when Josh will host Dr. Philip J. Romero, and talk about his recent paper: The Economic Benefits of Preserving Independent Contracting." In addition to teaching at the University of Oregon, Dr. Romero is an economist, policy analyst, and applied mathematician.
Josh and Dr. Romero will be joined by Mr. John Kabateck, California Executive Director of the National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB).
