eBay and American Employment

An interesting item from Jeff Jarvis: "eBay is fast becoming one of the largest employers in America. Of course, it hardly employs anyone, but it enables a lot of people to employ themselves and run their own businesses: 724,000 people are using it as their full, or part-time employment, up 68 percent from a year ago; another 1.5 million use it to supplement their income."
