You're of the impression that she is actively looking for a regular job and would take it if offered, correct? I'm of the opinion that she says exactly the opposite: that she is unwilling to entertain the notion of working for a regular job, because she likes the lifestyle afforded by being a bohemian yoga instructor.

“I spend a lot of time on the train,” ... “and it makes you wonder: If you had a regular job and you didn’t have all that travel time, would you make better money in the end?” She gave a small laugh. “But I love what I do. So I try not to think about that.”

Maybe she should start thinking about that.

I think you're missing the point of the article by focusing on her. They may have been able to find a more sympathetic subject to focus on, but the point remains that many freelance workers are now facing a decline in demand, and they are really an uncounted part of the unemployed economy.

That may be your point, but the article was about something else.
