The following is a list of gig economy companies. The list includes only companies that have been noted by sources as being former or current gig economy companies.
Background[edit]
The Congressional Research Service defines the "gig economy" as:
the collection of markets that match providers to consumers on a gig (or job) basis in support of on-demand commerce. In the basic model, gig workers enter into formal agreements with on-demand companies to provide services to company’s clients. Prospective clients request services through an Internet-based technological platform or smartphone application that allows them to search for providers or to specify jobs. Providers (gig workers) engaged by the on-demand company provide the requested service and are compensated for the jobs.[1]
In 2019, Queensland University of Technology published a report stating 7% of Australians participate in the gig economy.[2] 10% of the American workforce participated in the gig economy in 2018.[3] According to a 2019 Bank of Canada report, about one-third of Canadians work in the gig economy.[4] Around 2018, 15% of China's workforce, representing over 110 million people, was involved in the gig economy.[3]
