>If they're satisfied working gig jobs, why not go work at a local restaurant or as a bookkeeper or secretary at some local business? Most likely because either they have specific hours they can't work or the hours they can work are un-predictable. Businesses like workers who will work the same hours or work shifts on demand without question. And in this economy there are plenty of workers willing to do that. Businesses also outsource things a lot now to save money, a secretary may be a call center in India if they need one full time and their bookkeeper may be a guy in Florida.
