Regulation and the new administration
summary
First hundred days produce more unpredictability than new rules: few major laws pass, courts block some orders, and uncertainty squeezes investment and hiring. Coalition of platforms including Handy, Instacart and Postmates drafts legislation in New York, California and DC to create a third worker category with employer contributions to portable benefit pools, aiming to avoid class-action litigation risk and state-by-state reclassification. Handy reports about average 13 hours a week per professional and cites a 3.7% unemployment context that shapes the policy push.
