And what markets, exactly are those....?
The Feds have already made it hard enough to be a 1099 contractor, that it is harder and harder to find people or companies that are willing to let your work 1099 with them, for fear someone will try to sue them later (ala MS) or the govt will try to reclassify you, even if you are legit.
I've never seen an industry really even enthusiastically try to work on a 1099 basis.
I find it interesting that we apparently have absolutely alien experiences. In Texas pretty much every single small employer will ONLY do 1099 and at minimum wage or LESS.
There is also effectively no food stamps for an adult, given that if you can pay for lodging you aren't eligible.
So you can literally starve, or work in the exploitative positions offered. Illegal you say? When laws are not enforced, they don't really exist.
