You see them everywhere these days – Gig Workers.  Some estimates show them as 34% of the work force.  They are involved in many types of independent work including;  drivers for Uber & Lyft, homeowners offering rentals through Airbnb, independents working on specific software development projects, musicians performing ‘gigs’, and healthcare. 

Some gigs are short term, while others offer the option of longer self-employment. Workers in the Gig Economy enjoy flexibility, variety, and the ability to truly pursue one’s career passion while earning money on their own schedules.
