Gig Economy - A Trending Trend
When Jeb Bush summoned a car from Uber, using the
ride-hailing app to take him to Thumbtack, a consumer-service technology company, more
than a dozen reporters packed around as he exited the vehicle.
This
was, after all, no ordinary Uber ride. The car that Mr. Bush hailed was a
symbolic gambit on his part to highlight the on-demand economy or the "gig
economy". Also Hilary Clinton, came up with her support but in more
of cautious manner. In a speech laying out her economic plan, she said:
“This on-demand, or so-called gig economy is creating exciting
economies and unleashing innovation. But it is also raising hard questions
about workplace protections and what a good job will look like in the future.”
