As the Covid-19 pandemic continues and unemployment remains at record highs, many people are turning to part-time work, the gig economy and the side hustle to make ends meet.
Some of those are better than others. It’s probably not a great time, for example, to become a driver for rideshare services such as Uber or Lyft. Ridership at Uber is still down 75% in the three months through June, according to The Washington Post.
Covid-19 has definitely altered the jobs landscape. Kevin Ha, who runs the blog Financial Panther, details what he makes each month from side hustles. In June 2019, he earned $1,589 through Airbnb. This June, zero. However, last year, Ha made just $786 making deliveries. This year, he crushed his monthly $1,000 target on deliveries alone, earning $2,866.
