A. A hair salon franchise might hire some people, and those people would be employed. However, they might also be the owner of the franchise, meaning it is not employment. Even if the person we are talking about bought a franchise, they are still not employed because they "own" their franchise, just not the name. They are considered self-employed.
B. A freelance journalist is generally hired for specific projects at a time, so they are considered contractors.
