Gig economy will do wonders for Florida, if we let it

▤ Summary

Businesses have to compete not just locally, but often online and globally, and that is causing them to change. Many have revised their need for full-time standard workers and instead favor a low-cost work force with flexibility in hours, size and skill sets. Today’s workers average 11.7 jobs between the ages of 18 and 48 and likely find staying in one life-long job in order to get benefits more of a cage than a refuge. Finally, as digital platforms make possible all manner of exchange that used to be nearly impossible, the economy is changing. All three come together to create a lot of pressure for different work arrangements than most of us are used to.
