Ladies and Gentlemen,

During this time of quarantine and sheltering in place, many gig economy employees and wage employees are out of work.Gig economy employees are workers with temporary, flexible jobs who work as independent contractors and freelancers instead of full-time employees. These workers focus on a lifetime career instead of changing full-time positions. A wage employee is a worker compensated based on the number of hours worked multiplied by an hourly rate of pay.

As future entrepreneurs and business owners, this pandemic will effect our economy for decades to come. Over 6 million of these workers have filed for unemployment. Can you put a name to the sectors of gig and wage workers who are out of work?
