Gig 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.
