I have been reading about the "Gig Economy." I've become interested in it because I'm part of it, and because I believe it's eating away at people's idea of the American Dream. We've no doubt as a society been moving in this direction for a number of years--one could say the gateway drug for owners has been temp services, thereby cutting their costs substantially. And I think it's going to spread much more widely in our economy.
I know I'll write more about the gig economy in future posts, but here's one fact that I found shocking. It was found in one recent analysis that the average DoorDash worker makes just $1.45 an hour after mileage and taxes.
Amazing. Utterly amazing.
