It is easier to hide by claiming to be freelancing which is gappy by nature however there are always questions about what you did while freelancing so I suspect the bias still exists. Having said that, a lot more work is purely short-term so having gaps is not the black mark that it used to be.
- danso 15y agoPrevious stories on why unemployment is so much higher this time around focus on the types of jobs that were lost: secretaries, planners, and other logistical middlemen who kept their jobs even after computer programs were advanced enough to do their work. When the economy tanked, these well-liked employees were the logical ones to be cut when a company's bottom-line was concerned. Unfortunately, it's these kinds of occupations that likely have the least opportunity for freelance gigs.
