The Rise of the Gig Economy

April 25th, 2019

According to Forbes, 36 percent of United States workers are now a part of the so-called gig economy. By next year, NASDAQ expects that figure to hit 43 percent. This rapidly-growing segment of the workforce represents one of the biggest shifts in the labor market since the industrial revolution. The gig economy, characterized by freelance work and other short-term contract “gigs” as opposed to long-term full-time or part-time jobs, is changing the way that many Americans think about work. For both employers and job seekers, it’s also posing another question: what are the best practices for background screening in the gig economy?
