Gig economy is a term used to describe the growing trend of companies offering independent, supplemental, temporary, freelance, and/or contract-based work. Workers who fulfill this type of work are often called gig workers.
Joining the gig economy has many benefits such as deciding your own hours, the freedom of work without binding contracts, the ability to choose your own work, and the ability to earn income from multiple sources. Many individuals work gigs in addition to a typical day job as a secondary source of income. Technology has made it easier than ever to find various work opportunities across different industries and services.
GigSpace believes that technology and social forces will continue to fuel the gig economy – a nascent area of the labor force. However, the gig economy’s high growth results in a lack of educational resources that are clear, trustworthy, and inclusive. GigSpace aims to solve this pain point for our everyday readers.
The gig workforce is a diverse community of 57MM individuals in the United States. Over one-third of the entire US labor force (and over half 18-22 year olds) participate in the gig economy. The gig economy accounts for over $1 trillion in annual business.
The specific of gigs vary based on the industry and service provided. Gigs can range from driving passengers through apps like Uber or Lyft to providing every day task services through TaskRabbit. GigSpace can help find the best gigs for you through our quiz.
