Estimated Reading Time:
The temporary or contractor worker sector (or the gig economy) is growing at a rapid rate and will continue to influence the US economy for many decades to come. It has transformed how organizations are sourcing for their talent and how the definition of a “worker” has evolved. Nearly 35% of the U.S. Workforce is part of the gig economy. Today’s contingent workforce includes highly skilled specialists and consultants that can be found in nearly every industry. Large corporations are continually hiring more flexible, contingent workers to fill their staff.
Impact of the Gig Economy
The On Demand economy is revolutionizing consumer behavior – whether customers want an on demand landscaper, doctor, stylist, massage therapist or another type of service provider trust, safety and professionalism are essential. It is still early days for the emerging regulatory landscape in the gig economy. However, it is clear background checks are a key focal point for compliance in the sharing economy. The staffing industry has been extremely impacted by the gig economy leading to many discussions on how to maximize the talent supply chain of the On-Demand workforce. This topic and more will be discussed at the Staffing Industry Analyst (SIA) Collaboration in the Gig Economy Conference October 4-5 in Dallas.
SIA’s 40 Under 40 Leader List
