Employment infrastructure is outdated and inefficient, causing hurting both businesses and employees:

This project is a broad investigation into the experiences of the diverse “long tail” of the economy. We need to better understand problems before considering solutions.

We invite you to share your experience building a team so that we can understand what it will take to upend the fractional employment landscape, making it easier for businesses to adapt and thrive in today's economy.
