Baby Boomers Excel in the Gig Economy, 31% Complete More than 3 Gigs a Week

The gig economy is allowing people to work when and where they want. And increasingly baby boomers are making up a larger percentage of this workforce. So much so, 31% of them are completing more than three gigs a week. According to a new report from Wonolo, baby boomers have become the winners of the gig economy. Not only is it allowing them to delay their retirement, but it gives them more employment options across different fields. For small business owners looking to fill their positions, this is one way to address the shortage of qualified workers. Hiring older workers with extensive experience can provide a multitude of benefits, especially for new startups.
