Want to hear a frightening statistic? From a global perspective, 30%-40%+ of the working-age population is: 1) unemployed, 2) no longer seeking work or 3) working only part time. That’s approximately 850 million workers. Supply and demand are out of whack in the labor markets and it’s been causing serious disconnects between workers and business owners. This book provides a no-holds-barred look at both the opportunities and challenges we face in this new workplace environment. For some, the new freedom and good fortune made available by the gig economy represent an astounding breakthrough. For others the downsides are painful. In the book, I lay out the pros and cons to get everyone on the same page with regards to the massive changes. In less than 100 pages, Gig Economy explains the positive aspects, serious pitfalls, new rules of engagement, employee benefit impacts, financial considerations, personal tax implications, and political entanglements involved. I also provide a comprehensive and concise summary of the most popular sources of gigs in this new job marketplace. Regardless of which side you’re on, there will be some painful realities. But, it’s better to go in with your eyes wide open, looking at all the factors involved that will change the way many of us go about earning an income.
