Is the gig economy dead?

[edhopper]

I can see many who are in going through major struggles.

1. Not a chance

We will survive this.

2. Hopefully so. The gig economy can sod off, not the gig employees. They can stay safe.

The gig economy is exploitation, plain and simple.

4. I'm a musician for senior citizens, and ALL my gigs are cancelled.

I can't survive. I have a Master's degree. I might see if I can do substitute teaching, maybe children's music programs, send my songs to publishers. I guess I would still be part of the gig economy.

These are BAD, BAD times.

6. freelancing

Things like uber.

Not having a job, just being an independent contractor.

7. So glad I'm on a fixed income

for a change.
