The gig economy presents freedom and flexibility for workers. However, thriving in the gig economy can be a challenge. With self-employment comes the responsibilities of marketing oneself, trying to find work, and receiving the appropriate value for one’s work. In addition, gig workers must cover expenses that employers would typically handle such as employment taxes, health insurance, and the general costs of running a business. In this week’s show, we’ll be talking about a solution to help gig workers thrive. Our guest, Josh Danielson, co-founder of Loconomics, will talk about how he’s formed a cooperative that allows service professionals in the gig economy to connect and offer services on a technology platform they own.
