One third of the US workforce is currently comprised of Independent Workers - those who work for themselves (usually from home or coffee shops) as freelancers, independent contractors, consultants, and more. Experts predict that by the year 2020 over 50% of the US workforce will be Independent Workers. This begs the question, where will all of these Independent Workers work from? And that's where a whole new world and professional lifestyle - in fact a movement - called "coworking" comes in. Here's a look at NYC, one of the most dynamic hubs it's taking root in, and a fresh and fun new way for people to begin to connect and cowork for themselves.
