Hi Juliet,
I follow your blog religiously and enjoy the posts immensely.
There's a question I have about the free agent worker and the term "mobility". I have noticed that you use it in an unusual way. Of course, at first I thought you meant being able to move freely and quickly as a normal dictionary definition. However, you seem to have a broader meaning. Could it be "available", "flexible", "visible", "participatory" or "involved". Awaiting your comment.

Thanks Angie, I agree with your comment and will discuss it with Dr. Jones who wrote the website article my post is referring to. I will follow up in my future blog post on "staying mobile." We may need to use a different word... I really appreciate your comment! Thanks, Juliet
