What is Task work?

Task work is essentially a part time job on your own terms. You work when and where you want to. It could best be summarized as Uber and food delivery services like Doordash. In many ways the task or gig economy is here and changing the ways people expect goods and services to be delivered. We have actually done it for many years in certain types of ways. tress service companies for instance have been an essential service for many years because we don’t go out and buy bucket trucks and chain saws to do the work, we call someone. Many people who have pools dont clean their own but hire folks to do it for them, and yard maintenance…….you get the idea.

How Popular is the Gig Economy?

Very. Period.

Some estimates put it around 50% of working Americans have some sort of task or gig work to supplement their income for whatever reason. It is a great way to earn extra money for vacations, a new car, the toys you want or just to put back for later. Some people actually perform tasks and gigs for a full time income. Any way you slice it you are making money and you are doing it in ways that are comfortable for you.

Is it going to grow in popularity?

Again, YES!

It’s appealing because both workers and customers find it to be the easiest to get paid for a service and not have a full time commitment by the hiring party. Even among the baby boomer generation who are retired and not interested in just sitting home and doing nothing they are finding gig work or task work appealing. Its not full time work. Its engaging and fulfilling.
