At the rate that jobs are being outsourced, and with more and more companies choosing to bring in contractors instead of employees, a perfect storm is being created. That storm could result in a whole new world of entrepreneurs who could replace employees, as this Funders and Founders indicates.
Independent contractors cost a company 30 percent less than a regular employee because they don’t have to provide benefits, supervision or long-term pay. Companies are also outsourcing. Whereas a U.S. employee, such as a software developer, costs as much as $94,259 per year, a professional from countries like China and India can cost as little as $11,339.
Corporate changes such as these are causing employees to lose faith that their jobs will last. It also leaves them feeling de-valued and easily replaceable. Eventually, employees will seek out different methods of earning a living. The benefits of becoming an entrepreneur include the creation of value, taking risks, making life better and being ambitious.
