Gig Worker vs Freelancer
| Gig Worker | Freelancer |
Skill Level | Low | Medium to High |
Ownership of Means of Production | Platform | Worker |
Pricing Power | No Power | Set Own Price |
Wage Trend | Definitely Going Down | Varies according to market demand |
Able to Choose Customer | No | Yes |
Skill Development | No | Yes |
Require Higher Education? | No | Maybe |
Another thing I notice is that for Gig Worker the skill is never offered as a diploma or degree. For example, there’s no degree for taxi driving but there’s a degree in graphic design. Likewise there’s no diploma for food delivery but there’s diploma for culinary arts.
