The coronavirus pandemic is putting an unprecedented amount of Americans out of work. While the federal government has stepped in to provide several types of relief for small businesses, its guidance on how independent contractors, freelancers and gig workers are eligible remains scarce.
Organizations and individuals are stepping in to fill the gaps. Numerous resources for independent workers offer information on how they can secure COVID-19 assistance during this unprecedented time, whether it’s through explaining relevant federal aid programs or listing outside grants or mutual aid funds. Many also offer information on how to keep businesses afloat, whether that be through helpful tutorials for transitioning to online-based services or posting open job listings.
