The U.S. Department of Labor issued a business-friendly opinion Monday for the gig economy industry, telling one unidentified “virtual marketplace” employer that its workers are properly classified as independent contractors, not employees.

In a 10-page opinion letter dated April 29, Keith Sonderling, the acting administrator of the Labor Department’s wage and hour division, tells the representative of an unnamed online platform that based on a six-factor test, “we conclude that your client’s service providers are independent contractors, not employees of your client.”
