There seems to be lots of studies on the gig economy from the perspective of the customer, but I'm seeing much less about the worker perspective (stories about Uber, specifically, aside).

My gut tells me that the gig economy is a recipe for continued and growing income inequality. I don't like it, and have refused to participate. Then again, I refuse to use self check out registers at stores. Maybe similar with gig work, unemployment is the worse option.

I don't want to make things worse.
