Majority of gig economy workers are earning below minimum wage: research
And we&#x27;re shocked... why?<p>These aren&#x27;t real contractors, with complex tasks, negotiations for 3-5x salary of a normal employee. Ive done that. No benefits , but paid EXTRAORDINARILY well, like on the range of $300&#x2F;hr<p>But &quot;gig work companies&quot; are about bypassing and subverting normal employment by calling it &quot;contract work&quot;, and having NONE of the meeting of the minds of a proper contractor.<p>And it&#x27;s blatantly obvious why - it lowers cost and transfers liability to people who don&#x27;t have a clue what those externalized liabilities really are.
