In recent years, the gig economy has become an attractive solution for both employees and workers alike, offering both flexibility and lower commitment than traditional work models. But since the dawn of COVID-19, it’s seen a new resurgence in popularity, as employers and employees are grappling with an uncertain economy. While TechRepublic reported  just a year ago that the gig economy may be in danger, due to increased regulations, new research is showing that it has become an even more appealing option for the American workforce.

While before COVID-19 things may have slowed down, many Fortune 500 CEOs agree that the gig economy is the new future of work. The gig economy has real benefits for employers, and IT sector employers especially, according to data from recent Constellation Research, which shows that gig economy projects have been 30% more efficient, reduced customer complaints, and were rated higher in satisfaction for gig workers themselves.
