In 2021, 41% of people surveyed were using money from a side gig to pay their monthly bills, GOBankingRates reported. Additionally, 27% of gig workers polled spent more than 15 hours per week on their side hustle, up from 12% in 2020.
The Pew Research Center reported that the top gigs included driving for a ride-hailing app (such as Uber or Lyft), shopping for and delivering groceries, performing household tasks and running errands, making food deliveries (for restaurants or for an app like DoorDash), or using their personal vehicle to deliver packages.
If you read that list carefully, you’ll see that four out of the five top side gigs almost certainly involve driving your own vehicle while you’re doing the job. Household tasks such as home-cleaning may or may not require your own vehicle.
