9 Disturbing Gig App Statistics That Will Make You Rethink Gig Work

Summary: While the gig economy offers flexibility and the potential for higher earnings, it also harbors several significant drawbacks that might make you reconsider diving in. Here are ten concerning statistics that reveal the darker side of the gig app economy. I hope this can be a frame of reference for those who do research and those who use data-driven ways to look at gig work. 1.

Here is a person who may have been given a role because others are intimidated by them or something is out of control in their personal life, and they seek to maintain power by controlling/bullying others. According to Dr. Bertrice Berry (2004) " These are people who do
