They talk about one example from 121000 contractors - are you sure they don't include blue collar jobs?

It most definitely does include all blue collar jobs that are contracted out, including janitors, receptionists, cafe staff, security guards, movers, and more.

My GF was one of those contractors. PhD. Also they discussed Ph.D linguists in the article.

The argument was that the NYT article is not talking about blue-collar jobs.

The NYT article is talking about 121000 contractors.

Either Google has 121000 white-collar contractors, or the article also talks about blue-collar jobs.
