Gig Economy

The Gig Economy Index™, a Hyperwallet collaboration, is designed to better understand workers in the gig economy, people who often work in short-term, ad hoc positions — who they are, what services they supply and what percentage of their overall income the gigs represent.

Notable findings in the Q4 edition include the following:

• 38.4 percent: Share of non-seasonal gig workers
• 38.2 percent: Share  of gig workers were paid via direct deposit
• 19.4 percent: Share of gig workers were not employed outside the gig economy
