# These are paid technical consultants.
# I'm confused about the distinction.  What's the difference? --friedman
#
# Consultants are not categorized as ``common law employees'', which means:
#  they do not have income tax withheld;
#  they pay fica tax themselves, at the total ~16% rate;
#  they are ineligble for tax-preference benefit plans (pension, health)
#  they are self-employed, and get business preferences of other sorts.
