A subpoena sent to the Acting U.S. Labor Secretary asks how many instances of independent-contractor misclassification her inspectors have actually found.
Another point that jumps out at me is the finding say that the companies that have misclassified, have done so with at least one person. So, a company with 50, 500, 5,000 etc employees may have one that's misclassified. That brings the rate of people who actually might misclassified way down, from whatever the actual rate might be.
I would like to see an accounting of how many claims employees make annually to DOL or IRS vs. how many are "oops I found another" by the DOL/NLRB or other government agency that is targeting employers.

Absolutely possible, indeed

That is another very good question
