Most people associate the gig economy with Uber drivers, Instacart delivery, dog walkers and cleaning services or on-demand jobs and services that most people can successfully complete. However, today’s gig economy runs far deeper, with many jobs and services requiring specific skillsets or specialized training.
While Uber drivers and cleaning services are still very much a part of the surging gig economy, as the founder of a platform for gig work, I’ve observed that the past several years have seen this demographic of workers expand considerably to include writers, proofreaders, video producers, social media experts, website designers and more. In line with those specialized services, translators and interpreters have also found solid ground in the gig marketplace.
