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.
