Gig Economy

The gig economy refers to a labor market characterized by short-term, flexible jobs often facilitated by online platforms. It offers individuals the chance to earn income on their own terms, making it especially appealing to Millennials and Gen Z. Key benefits include the potential for increased income and the ability to work from anywhere. However, gig workers must also navigate issues like fluctuating income and lack of benefits, which can impact their credit scores and financial stability.
