The Gig Economy

A gig economy is an environment in which temporary positions are common and organizations contract with independent workers for short-term engagements. The trend toward a gig economy has begun.

Simply put by the SF Examiner, “The gig economy is a term used to describe the economic activity of people who use digital platforms to earn income. In San Francisco, that means those who drive for Uber or Lyft, sell products via Etsy or Ebay, or rent rooms in their home using Airbnb, as well as others.”
