Why Gig Workers Are Quietly Being Pushed To The Edge

Описание: The gig economy was never supposed to become the backbone of American livelihoods — but that’s exactly what’s happening. In this video, we break down how a system designed for flexibility quietly transformed into a fragile full-time income source for millions, and why that shift is now cracking the economy from the inside.

With nearly 70 million Americans freelancing and trillions of dollars flowing through gig platforms, this isn’t a niche trend — it’s a structural change. But beneath the growth headlines lies a much darker reality: falling real wages, rising costs, algorithmic control, and almost no safety net.
