Misclassifying workers as independent contractors is costly for workers AND states, our new analysis shows. A typical construction worker would lose as much as $19,526/year in income and job benefits as an independent contractor vs. as an employee. 🧵 epi.org/publication/mi…

Who are misclassified workers? Some of the most commonly misclassified jobs are: 🔸Construction workers 🔸Truck drivers 🔸Janitors 🔸Home health care aides 🔸Landscapers 🔸Cleaners

Workers misclassified as independent contractors also lose out on critical protections & benefits like: 🔸Minimum wage 🔸Overtime pay 🔸Unemployment insurance 🔸The right to form a union 🔸Anti-discrimination protections

Wrongful misclassification also robs the social safety net in every state by depriving state social insurance funds, such as unemployment insurance and Workers’ Compensation, of crucial dollars needed to maintain these programs.

Misclassification threatens workers' economic security & leaves them vulnerable to exploitation and harmful labor practices. Policymakers should act to curb misclassification and enforce the rights to which all workers should be entitled. epi.org/publication/mi…
