They've cynically added a new class of employment to many sectors, consultants. Which means they can pay the same wage, without the benefits. Initially this started, largely, when Clinton was in power because of the tight labor market. Professionals could basically name their price. Now..it is the other way around.
Correct.
We see this also with employers hiring workers part time, non permanent, and the use of temporary agencies to address production shortfalls; anything to avoid adding to payrolls and cutting into profits by providing benefits.
If you don't like the arrangement, don't take the job.
