The Gig Economy - Implications for the Future of Work at ORMC

“Gig economy” refers to a broad range of workers that are employed through short-term contracts or freelance work as opposed to long-term permanent jobs. Traditionally, the term “gig workers” referred to musicians, artists, drivers, writers, etc.
