This looks interesting and useful.
The Gig Economy Data Hub aims to provide comprehensive information on all aspects of the gig economy.
The home page gets off to a great start:
A freelance graphic designer earns $25,000 for an ad campaign. A teacher drives for Uber on the weekends. An electrician owns and operates a successful small business. A stay-at-home mom sells Mary Kay cosmetics on Facebook. A recent immigrant cleans houses under the table. A retired woman knits hats to sell at craft fairs. What do these workers have in common?
There is more to what is currently called the gig economy than flavour-of-the-month media stories suggest.
The Data Hub is a collaboration between the Aspen Institute’s Future of Work Initiative and Cornell University’s ILR School. The data appears to be all US-focused, but the lessons and many of the findings will doubtless translate at least to the UK and possibly beyond.
