Ridgewood NJ, Walter Perog presents on the new workforce norm sweeping the country: the gig economy. But what is this ‘gig economy’ all about? Well, it’s a newly popularized social work-order contract between an employer and you. Over 43 million workers left full-time employment alone in 2021 and what did these unemployed people do? Baby-boomers retired, many became freelancers/gig workers, demanding job flexibility like working from home, and lastly, others quit due to debilitating emotional trauma caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
