How the Gig Economy is Reshaping the U.S. Job Market
The gig economy is transforming the U.S. labor market, providing new opportunities for flexibility and innovation. Defined by short-term, task-oriented work facilitated by digital platforms, this model appeals to both workers and employers for its adaptability and efficiency. As of 2024, the gig economy is growing three times faster than the traditional U.S. workforce, and projections suggest that over 50% of the U.S. workforce may engage in gig work by 2027.
