PALM BEACH, Florida, Feb. 18, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- The U.S. is seeing a groundswell of interest in the gig economy, which typically includes workers such as independent contractors, on-call, and temporary workers. At the moment, the number of gig workers at U.S. businesses stood at 16% in 2019, according to the ADP Research Institute, as noted by CNBC. That's 15% higher from 2010. Better, according to a study from TrueBlue and Emsi, as noted by the Associated Press, 42% of people picking up temporary work will pick up at least two gigs every week. Such temporary help services could see the addition of 3.2 million jobs by 2025, an increase of nearly 8.5% from 2019. "Gig employment will continue to grow in popularity as more companies choose to reduce fixed labor costs to stay nimble and workers gravitate toward flexible work experiences that fit their lifestyles," said Patrick Beharelle, CEO of TrueBlue. It's already creating sizable opportunity for companies such as HeyBryan Media Inc. (CSE:HEY) (OTCQB:HEYBF), Uber Technologies Inc. (NYSE:UBER), LYFT Inc. (NASDAQ:LYFT), Etsy Inc. (NASDAQ:ETSY), and Fiverr International Ltd. (NYSE:FVRR). [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER] |
