This isn’t just happen in the British job market/economy. It is very popular in America and elsewhere too. With the over-supply of workers and a sluggish worldwide economy it is happening all over. I’m trying to change that though one family at a time… http://HowToFindWorkNow.org

To much uncertainty in the UK economy, has led to companies feeling that hiring full time staff is too risky, especially as in the UK companies are not able to hire and fire as easily as in the US due to employment laws. Freelance staff gives small companies more flexibility. It also appears that the perception that employees have to be chained to their desktop computers is changing and that presence is not a measure of performance. Another good sign.

The biggest obstacle to the growth of independent workers in the UK remains Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs. As soon as an independent worker establishes any kind of relationship with a company, the tax man starts sniffing around claiming that they are in fact an employee, which brings with it untold compliance costs and taxation. Changes in this area would quickly stimulate the growth in independent work.
