It is no secret that the gig economy has increased exponentially in the last ten years, but what about in the last two years? Between COVID19, unemployment, and new societal policies, there has been the largest increase in gig work – and we have Gen Z to thank.

Many famous jobs in the gig economy include some pretty famous apps like Uber, Lyft, UberEATS, DoorDash, Instacart, and many more. There is no shortage of links you can find for the people working in the gig economy to bring you food or do your grocery shopping for you. The truth about gig work is that there is an opportunity for people to make real salaries while they work on their own schedule.

With social distancing and the closure of schools and businesses, there are more people than ever turning to gig work – and it’s paying off. Gig work and the gig economy is only going to go up from here, so buckle in, (and if you want to make a few extra bucks), get to work!
