Nearly one-third of gig workers said that gig work has been their main job over the past year. And the majority of all gig workers worked less than 10 hours a week over the past year.
Employers in the U.S. are looking to fill a near-record 11 million hourly and salaried jobs, yet many workers are sticking with gig work.
Whether or not they consider it a main job or a side job, the majority of gig workers over the past year worked gigs less than 10 hours a week. Still, 36% said that in the past year, they clocked 10 to 30 hours or more than 30 hours doing these jobs, including waiting for assignments, in a typical week.
Many employers currently are in a bidding war against one another for new talent, where the “prize” goes to the employer willing to offer not only higher wages, but also better working conditions and benefits. “This struggle has played out across the country with advocates, lawmakers and gig companies debating the legal status of gig workers. Many of these discussions have centered around one particular type of gig job: ride hailing.”
