About this listen

 In the not-so-distant past, the concept of a stable 9-to-5 job with benefits was the quintessential American dream. However, in today's rapidly evolving job market, a seismic shift is occurring, one that is giving rise to the gig economy. This phenomenon has been reshaping the labor market, introducing a new breed of workers who embrace the freedom of freelancing and platform-based employment. In this podcast episode, we will delve into the gig economy's rise and its profound impact on the world of work. The gig economy, often referred to as the "on-demand" or "freelance" economy, is a labor market characterized by temporary, flexible, and often project-based work arrangements. Gig workers, including freelancers, independent contractors, and temporary workers, are on the front lines of this transformation. They choose when, where, and how they work, breaking free from the traditional constraints of the office cubicle.
