Such “gig apps” are a blessing.
ANYONE (practically) can download it, and be earning honest money in minutes - anywhere, anytime.
Never before has “get a job” been easier.
Only capital needed is a smartphone (can be had cheap) and a car (which can be rented). You can work whenever you want.
Hard work for low pay? yup - it’s commodity labor. But it’s PAID labor, tiding a person over until they can find a better paying job rewarding more specialized skills.
I use instacart and recently talked to the gal who delivered my groceries. She said you have to fill out an app, online, just like any other job and they do a background check. Takes about a week to get the okay to work. She said she chooses her jobs. She said you have to be ‘on it’ to get the ones you want but she works a lot....and makes about $3k a month. She delivers mostly for Aldis and Smart & Final.
