  1. Jamison Cush: The word gig usually conjures visions of a one-off musical performance. It
  2. happens once and then the band is off to find their next performance, or gig. Gig is actually a
  3. slang term meaning a job for a specified period of time. But it's found its way into mainstream
  4. business vocabularies as more and more communities trend toward a gig economy. A gig economy is a
  5. free market system in which temporary positions are common. Freelancers, independent contractors,
  6. project-based workers and temporary hires all fall under the title gig workers and are found across
  7. every industry. Gig employees could be writers, rideshare drivers, photographers, accountants,
  8. realtors, handyman, programmers, tutors, artists, dog walkers, really anyone who enters into formal
  9. agreements with a company to provide services without being on the company's payroll. With
  10. digitization, the workforce is increasingly mobile, so workers can select temporary jobs from
  11. around the world. And employers can find the best individuals for each job without as much
  12. geographic constraints. The gig economy also saves businesses resources, like benefits, office space
  13. and training, while providing employees benefits like an improved work life balance and freedom to
  14. select jobs or gigs that they're interested in. While this flexibility is appealing, gig workers
  15. in turn, usually trade that in for modest pay little or no health or retirement benefits, tax
  16. complications and out of pocket equipment expenses. And there's a blurred line between those
  17. who voluntarily work as contractors and those who are being taken advantage of by an employer that
  18. might classify someone as a contractor to get out of paying fair wages and benefits.
