How did the gig economy survive the pandemic? And how is it evolving today?

Even in its modern-day incarnation, the gig economy has its origins well before COVID-19 and other crises that businesses have encountered over the past few years. In the internet era, it emerged as a means of delivering flexibility and freedom to workers, while providing employers with a reliable supplemental labor pool. But has it fulfilled that promise? And what’s required to keep the gig economy thriving today? On this episode, we get a perspective from two experts from Wonolo: Robert Merritt, vice president of demand, and Monica Plaza, chief strategy officer. They’ll help us to define the word “gig,” discuss how the definition is changing, and give us a glimpse into the future of work. Hosted by Bob Bowman, Editor-in-Chief of SupplyChainBrain.
