1. People also want more flexibility to work when and where they want.

It isn't always the employer that benefits. A young man in our extended family works a few months at time as a trauma nurse; top pay in any hospital he chooses. He saves most of his money to go hiking and photograph some of the most remote, and spectacular, places on earth. A niece only works part time for the insurance benefits so she can still concentrate on running her own business. The have found ways to make work fit in with their needs, not the other way around.

Affordable health insurance is a key factor and it goes hand in hand with both a job and entrepreneurship. If we had universal coverage more people would leave the workforce to start their own businesses, or only work on their terms because they have higher priorities than just a dead end job, or doing work they hate.
