    Josh Barro, Stacy Brown-Philpot, Kenny Dichter, Belinda Johnson, Alan Krueger, Artie Minson

Despite these growth projections, the sector faces critical regulatory hurdles regarding worker classification, prompting proposals for a new "independent worker" category to balance flexibility with essential social protections.
