How Much Are People Making from the Sharing Economy?
I think people are missing the point of the article. I summarize that the sharing economy is not a good way to make a living. In search for the lowest price we have people that can&#x27;t make enough to get an apartment and raise a family. Raising a family has become a luxury for some people. Try to raise 2 kids and you fall into poverty status.<p>The scary part is that it&#x27;s possible to see a future where a big chunk of the economy is powered by gigs. The uberizing of the economy is just starting.<p>People say that all these workers will eventually get better jobs but that&#x27;s not the case. We are hundreds of years into the industrial revolution yet low&#x2F;unskilled work is still something society needs.  For whatever reason, some people just can&#x27;t get enough skills to move up the food chain.<p>I wish the new tech entrepreneurs would find a better way to fix the low skill problem rather than find a way to reduce services&#x2F;costs to the bone.
