The job market of the 21st century is often referred to as the "gig economy." Employers such as Uber, Amazon, Airbnb, and others are increasingly relying on short-term freelance employees who work on a piecemeal basis.

Proponents of the gig economy suggest it offers workers the freedom to work where and when they want, while employers can reduce labor costs by avoiding health insurance and payroll taxes. Others suggest that businesses are simply taking advantage of a tough economy to cut benefits and offer lower wages to people desperate for work.

If you were the head of a large corporation, would you consider it ethical to profit from the gig economy?
