The top industries hiring gig workers include those in construction, IT, business administration, healthcare, and the creative industries. Gig work is getting more and more prevalent in the US; in the most recent year, 50 million people either worked full- or part-time gigs.

The Gig Economy's Advantages and Disadvantages for Businesses

Pros:

 Without a fixed wage. Giving employees a predetermined salary necessitates paying for their holidays, sick days, and vacation time, which can be expensive for the business. Only the hours that were really worked are compensated for by a contract-based gig worker.

 Cons.

 Workers who may be less invested. Because gig workers are not permanent employees, they might not be as devoted to your company and could go at any time.
