With what, 60 million gig workers in the US? Around 38% of the labor force, I think- you'd think the total self-employed number would be higher.



Gig workers are not self-employed. They don't pass the IRS 20 factor test. And that's why governments are cracking down.


Different countries may have different standards for that, though. So it may be hard to compare this data between different countries.


How are people with multiple jobs counted? I’d imagine the gig thing is generally not primary.
