2008 was quite the thing!
In theory there is quite a bit of subtlety in the data collected. https://www.bls.gov/news.release/empsit.t15.htm https://www.bls.gov/news.release/empsit.t15.htm (Must say, I have no idea where gig work fits. There is some easy to find data: https://www.statista.com/statistics/918285/gig-economy-number-people-working-independently-frequency-us/ https://www.statista.com/statistics/918285/gig-economy-numbe... )
- kemotep 3y agoGig work would fall under U6 unemployment if the person believes they are underemployed and would prefer a full time position with benefits or otherwise only marginally attached to the labor market and would prefer better employment. Someone working gig jobs (even multiple) and satisfied with hours worked/pay and benefits would just count as employed.
