Gig jobs can go by many names – freelancing, side hustles, temp jobs or contract work – but they all operate under the same basic principle. Workers move from one assignment to the next, selecting the jobs they want and working under conditions they choose.

“The gig economy gives you ultimate flexibility,” says Ross Buhrdorf, founder and CEO of ZenBusiness, a company that provides tools to freelancers and entrepreneurs who want to start a business. The platform has helped 150,000 new businesses launch since March 2020, compared to 30,000 in the year before.
