[quote=Anonymous]Interesting article. Thought of the gig economy. After seeing a commercial recently for a well known grocery valet service and another for a laundry valet service, I thought about usefulness vs. equity.

The commercials are here:

I've used both services.  Now that I have fallen on leaner times, I use app services less on the consumer side and occasionally gig on both services to balance the budget.

Gig economy on both sides I've found is highly female, and plays on the idea that there are more preferred activities that someone of means could be doing while leveraging another person of less means to do the dirty work.

The inequity comes when the people who do the dirty work are compensated at rates that abuse the exchange, which unfortunately happens with females that work at all levels.

Maybe its in our hands, as women, to ensure that we provide a fair exchange at least amongst each other.
