Note-Full time staff is seldom 100% productive due to idle time between tasks, personal matters, inability of employer to generate work for staff because of distractions, meetings and commitments.  
Depending on the productivity level of the full time employee, you may be paying over 3 times their actual salary.  You do the Math!  What's the Smart Choice? Virtual Keystrokes is your ultimate work partner.
