Whether it’s being a rideshare driver, someone who delivers food or a freelance translator, hundreds of thousands of Canadians are taking on “gigs” to add to their income, but nearly a million say it’s become their primary job.
A new report from Statistics Canada has found people taking on “gig work” as their main job reached 871,000 in the final three months of 2022.
According to the Conference of European Statisticians (CES) , gig work is a type of employment characterized by short-term jobs or tasks that do not guarantee steady work and where they must take specific actions to stay employed.
