W2 contract jobs

On a W2 contract you are an hourly employee of a staffing firm or of the client for the length of the contract. Taxes are withheld for you and the employer pays its share of payroll taxes, which is why W2 rates are a bit lower than 1099 rates for the same job. Here are the latest W2 contract jobs that Freelance Radar found on LinkedIn: 89 jobs live right now, with a median hourly rate of $47.
