In July, I learned from Harvard economist Lawrence Katz that official measurements of workers in alternative labor arrangements, like anyone driving for Uber, were probably being heavily undercounted.

This week, Katz told me his research with Princeton economist Alan Krueger (who previously surveyed Uber drivers on behalf of Uber) has revealed that all net employment growth in the U.S. economy since 2005 appears to have occurred in alternative work arrangements.
