Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
An estimated one-third of workers today are employed in the gig economy--and some labor experts believe this number will grow. Career Planning in the Gig Economy examines what these jobs entail, whether they are right for everyone, what people need to know if they plan to go this route, and how individuals are making the gig economy work for them.
Includes bibliographical references and index.
Introduction: Not a traditional job -- What is the gig economy -- Are gig jobs right for you? -- Plunging in -- Making the gig economy work for you.
"Anyone seeking a job today is entering an economy where an estimated one-third of workers are employed in the gig economy. They are referred to my many job titles including gig workers, freelancers, side-hustlers, on-demand employees, consultants, and independent contractors. While the terms many vary, these wage earners are participating in an alternative workforce that is growing faster than the traditional full-time job market. There is no guarantee that one will be successful"-- Provided by publisher.
