“Clinton said she ‘vows to crack down on employers who misclassify workers as independent contractors.’ She also noted that the ‘so-called gig economy offers exciting opportunities but raises hard questions about workplace protections and what a good job will look like in the future’. Clinton didn’t offer specifics, so we can’t say whether she’ll be a friend or foe to the sharing economy. But, her ambiguous statements make it hard for startups to plan for the future. Investors may be scared to bet on sharing economy businesses if their planned model gets met with resistance at the presidential level.”
