Uber and other peer-to-peer services like AirBNB are part of a rapid acceleration of what many call â??the gig economy,â? where people cobble together a living through part-time or freelance work â??â??gigs.â? As we well know, the days of working with the same company for oneâ??s whole career is past. What we have been slow to recognize is that for many today, it is hard to find consistent, full-time employment at all, as more and more employers donâ??t want to make long-term commitments or pay full benefits to their workers.
