This article is terrible. They surveyed 500 people on the internet. Over a hundred people said they did some consulting work, so therefore America is a "Gigocracy". Seriously? She makes it seem like a negative thing that people can't describe what they do with a simple sentence. As if everyone should say Hi, I'm Joe the Plumber or Bob the Butcher. Then she describes the "penny-ante slog" of working three times as hard for less money without raises. From personal experience, I'm making twice as much money and work maybe half the amount of hours or less. When you start a new project or gig, you decide how much money it will cost, and if it's not worth it to you, then don't do the project. If you want a raise, then you raise your rates. She makes it sound like everyone finds their gigs on Mechanical Turk.
