[quote=Anonymous]This does seem to be the trend and it's largely a way to control costs and to have the flexibility to get rid of people when they are no longer busy. A lot of service providers (e.g., consultants, accountants, lawyers, etc.) have arrangements that are similar to gig workers, even if perhaps they are better paid than what most people think of as gig workers. When framed this way, the problem with "gig" worker is not necessarily lower pay, but rather it's the lack of security and the fact that all burden/responsibility is on the individual worker. On the flipside, if you're entrepreneurial and willing to work extra hard, you may actually end up financially better off, as the rewards are there for the taking. The problem for society is that you end up with a lot of inequality, as there is a much greater degree of divergence of results.[/quote]
