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.


In just two years, the world-of-work was turned upside down, with freelancers (AKA gig workers) predicetd to grow in number from 35% of today’s total US working population, to 50% of the workforce by 2027 – that’s just five years from today, replacing many permanent full-time jobs. Can you imagine the impact all of this will have on your children and grandchildren?

Hear the future for this full revelation…and social workforce revolution.
