Small businesses turn to contractors to cut costs

Recently, the Dallas Morning News printed an article called, "Small businesses turn to contractors to cut costs."

"As the recession forces small businesses across the country to cut expenses, some are making a dramatic shift – they're laying off employees and using independent contractors instead.

Hiring contractors rather than employees means businesses don't have to pay for employee benefits and don't owe the government payroll taxes for the contractors."
