Online gig work surges

The World Bank previously reported that the gig economy, comprising online gig work, has surged to encompass 12 percent of the global labor market, with developing nations leading the demand.

The report also identifies that young people are increasingly drawn to gig work for various reasons, such as income generation, skill acquisition, and the flexibility to juggle work with education or other jobs. 

A recent survey by Quicken revealed that nearly half (43%) of Americans with side hustles are making more money while working fewer hours compared to traditional single-salary positions. 

This shift is particularly pronounced among younger generations, with 50% of Gen Z and 48% of millennials reporting this outcome.

Recent data from Owl Labs also found that 46% of workers currently maintain a side hustle or additional job, also known as ‘polyworking‘ with another 36% planning to join the trend in the near future.
