Quantifying Income Earned in the Gig Economy

The gig economy offers workers a flexible source of income. It is defined by the Bureau of Labor Statistics as “contingent and alternative employment arrangements,” whereas electronically Mediated Employment is defined by the Bureau of Labor Statistics as short jobs or tasks that workers find through mobile apps that both connect them with customers and arrange payment for the tasks. This includes Uber, Lyft, DoorDash, and Instacart, among others. These jobs are often part of the gig economy.
