The gig economy and the emergence of part-time jobs will continue to grow and shape the future of work in 2025. These “side hustles” offer opportunities to adapt to high living costs or supplement retirement income through platforms like TaskRabbit.
TaskRabbit CEO Ania Smith joins the conversation on Wealth and highlights some of the emerging gig economy trends shaping the future.
Smith says that, on average, the earning potential for TaskRabbit gig workers (called Taskers) is around $48 per hour. “About a third of our Taskers are working on the platform full time, but many people come in and do it full time for the summer maybe, or do it full time for a couple of months when they’re in between other opportunities,” Smith explains.
Smith sees several new developments emerging for the gig economy in the future. In particular, she says, “I think the next trend is really the expansion of the gig economy in terms of the types of jobs, so more creativity and more different types of jobs.”
