Good Jobs, Bad Jobs in the Gig Economy

Abstract

Kalleberg and Dunn make the points • The gig economy offers both good and bad jobs and opens new opportunities—but also exploits workers. • Although contingent workers are a small percentage of the overall workforce, the gig economy has important implications for the future of employment. • Social safety-net benefits—minimum wage and health, retirement, and unemployment insurance—need to be available for gig economy workers.
