These are boom times for the overall workforce in the U.S. – and independent contractors as well.
A record 150 million Americans had jobs at the end of August, the last month for full data. That's an increase of 2.3 million jobs in just one year.
Plus, there's also a record 6.9 million openings just waiting to be filled. And a 3.9% unemployment rate is one of the best we've seen in decades.
Now, when we spoke on Sept. 26, I told you of a great way to play the rise of the independent workforce.
After all, this group is growing much faster than the overall jobs boom. As I noted, that's a rising market with a lot of profit potential.
But today, I want to talk about the opportunities that are waiting on the flip side of that investing coin.
In others words, I want to introduce you to a tech leader that has the right products to help employers manage their growing number of workers... and stands ready to meet a very target-rich market.
I'm talking about a fast-moving firm that's doubling its sales every two years.
Here's how...
Why Workday Is Growing So Fast
If all our employment tech leader did was keep pace with the economy, it would be in a big uptrend. Second-quarter GDP was a decade-best 4.2%. August was the 95th consecutive month in which American employers hired more people than they fired, the longest streak on record.
Here's the thing: All those new jobs are great news for tech investors on two fronts.
First is the fact that it signals a strong economy eight years into the recovery.
Second, all those new workers require employers to go through a wide range of steps to integrate them. Each of these new hires will need at least some of these items covered – personnel files, training, tax forms, health benefits, overtime sheets, and 401(k) plans, just to name a few.
Powerful Investment Income Stream: The Treasury is sitting on an $11.1 billion money pool. By adding your name to a special distribution list, you could begin collecting $1,795 or more every month. Get the details…
For many human resources (HR) departments, integrating all those forms and tracking systems takes hours and can costs thousands of dollars for each new worker.
About the Author

And he brings this entire world of Silicon Valley "insiders" right to you...
- He was one of five people involved in early meetings for the $160 billion "cloud" computing phenomenon.
- He was there as Lee Iacocca and Roger Smith, the CEOs of Chrysler and GM, led the robotics revolution that saved the U.S. automotive industry.
- As cyber-security was becoming a focus of national security, Michael was with Dave DeWalt, the CEO of McAfee, right before Intel acquired his company for $7.8 billion.
This all means the entire world is constantly seeking Michael's insight.
In addition to being a regular guest and panelist on CNBC and Fox Business, he is also a Pulitzer Prize-nominated writer and reporter. His first book Overdrawn: The Bailout of American Savings warned people about the coming financial collapse - years before the word "bailout" became a household word.
Silicon Valley defense publications vie for his analysis. He's worked for Defense Media Network and Signal Magazine, as well as The New York Times, American Enterprise, and The Wall Street Journal.
And even with decades of experience, Michael believes there has never been a moment in time quite like this.
Right now, medical breakthroughs that once took years to develop are moving at a record speed. And that means we are going to see highly lucrative biotech investment opportunities come in fast and furious.
To help you navigate the historic opportunity in biotech, Michael launched the Bio-Tech Profit Alliance.
His other publications include: Strategic Tech Investor, The Nova-X Report, Bio-Technology Profit Alliance and Nexus-9 Network.
