Thanks for posting the article. I haven't had time yet today to do any research so you just made my job easier. I live in New York so it will great to add this to my website, when it's up and running.

Thanks again.

Wow, Monique, that is way cool. Have to present at a Chamber networking meeting this week, and think I'll show this around! Thank you!

Great article. Thank you for sharing. I've posted on Danielle Keister's blog before (she was one of the respondents to Barbara's post). Danielle has started great conversations as well on her blog about whether a VA who works with a virtual staffing agency is more of a employer-employee situation and whether she is truly a 'real' VA in the sense of being a business owner and independent contractor while working for that staffing agency. Good one...
