What’s Happening in the Gig Economy?
When the gig economy first rose to prominence, it was widely called a “disruption” of industries that had grown stagnant and failed to innovate to keep up with changing demand. It was also hailed as a more accessible opportunity for employment for many people. In the years since, one thing has become abundantly clear — when you “disrupt” the usual way of doing things, you might not pay as much attention to safety or security as you should.
Use Contractor Background Checks to Protect the Public
According to a 2023 study by the National Bureau of Economic Research, nearly 15% of the entire United States workforce now comprises independent contractors. That percentage represents millions of Americans who aren't engaged in the traditional hiring and employment process. As the gig economy continues to mature and grow, more jobs are shifting away from typical part-time and full-time employment arrangements. How does this change influence and impact the need for employers to understand how to conduct a contractor background check?
