To price W2 hour work employers take the W2 with benefits and add in $10k and divide by something by about 2000. For 1099 they add another $16k and divide by 2000. But the unemployment rate for W2 hourly is going to be 5-10% and the unemployment for 1099 is 20-50%.
W2 hourly has a negative premium.
1099 has a negative premium.
I'm going to spend 3 months trying to get W2 with benefits before I give up and start taking just anything.
