TLDR
In 1915, jazz musicians created the word: “gig” in regard to their performances. The gig economy began with Craigslist, Upwork, and Amazon Mechanical Turk. The second wave of the gig economy reeled in a wide-range of demographics as it interweaved mobile applications into work (i.e., Airbnb, Uber, and TaskRabbit). By 2027, 60% of the workforce will be independent professionals and contractors, and gig workers are earning more legally enforced, workman’s rights.via the TL;DR App
