Gigs
Gigs are short-term, freelance, or project-based jobs where individuals, often called independent workers or freelancers, are hired to complete specific tasks or services. Unlike traditional employment, gigs are typically task-specific, flexible, and can be completed remotely or in person. Examples include ride-sharing, graphic design, writing, or handyman services. The gig economy enables workers to choose when and where they work, often through online platforms that connect clientele with service providers. This model offers flexibility for workers and targeted solutions for clients but also means income can be variable and benefits are usually not provided.
