New M Squared Consulting Survey Reveals Independent Consultants Upbeat about Their Profession, the EconomyThe M Squared Consulting 2012 survey of independent consultants was recently released and the findings were fascinating. The poll of 530 professional independent consultants found that the flexible workforce has become indispensable to American businesses; it also revealed that an overwhelming majority of consultants are satisfied with their career choice. In the survey, a solid 69 percent of professional independent consultants agreed that the use of the flexible workforce is now a permanent work model in America. Also, 52 percent of respondents were either cautiously optimistic or very optimistic about the U.S. economy in 2012.

This week, we feature:
