What do an Uber driver, a scrum master, a freelance
designer, and a contract project manager / product
owner have in common? The answer is that they are
all a part of the gig economy.
One of the fastest growing trends in employment is a
move away from full-time contracts. Instead, both
employers and workers are pursuing alternative
arrangements, including temporary or project-based
contracts.
It wasn’t that long ago that people graduating from
college or university would go searching for a
permanent position with regular pay periods,
consistent hours and employee benefits. However,
the proportion of such jobs is shrinking.
The emergence of new digital technologies has meant
a shift in companies employment strategies. They are
looking to reduce their costs by hiring less full-time
staff in favor of short-term support based on
immediate needs.
On the flip side, peoples’ preferences regarding job
structures are also changing. Workers have realized
that contracting out their services to a mix of
companies allows them flexibility in determining the
amount of time they spend working and the types of
work they do. Where the two sides meet is where we
find the gig economy.
Those participating in the gig economy call
themselves freelancers, independent professionals,
contract workers and independent contractors.
It’s easy to think of this group as a bunch of
millennials looking to escape the traditional 9 to 5, but
among those participating in the gig economy are
experienced nurses, project managers, scrum
masters, agile coaches, engineers and marketing

consultants.
