The stereotype of the gig economy is that contract workers grab whatever assignments they can. Unfortunately, for those gig economy participants who believe that there's little opportunity. Translated into gig economy concepts that means: Choose assignments wisely.   Yesterday in this residential complex of 600 units, a young woman was walking a neighbor's dog as a gig assignment.   Is it difficult to approach gig work strategically?

Not all gig economy workers are equal. Some, such as Meghan and Harry, have the distinct edge of access to a high-powered global network.    The Daily Mail captures how they have been hustling those who can give them assignments. An example is being where Netflix chief content officer Ted Sarandos is. Harry has been pitching his wife Meghan for appropriate work. Currently, the M & H international brand is powerful. But that could sour.

Twice, Alan Kruger and Lawrence Katz had conducted surveys of supposed gig-economy workers. In a study last summer, the Department of Labor studied the gig economy and didn't find it had significantly altered traditional ways of earning a living. That is, they really weren't gig workers per se, at least not as contingent jobs were being measured. In addition, the gig work being done was largely in one category: driving for Uber.

The gig-economy business model has given the unique competitive edge to companies using it. That means the former gig workers would have the protections and benefits of employees. Meanwhile, companies using the gig model indicate they will invest $30 million to deep-six that law through a ballot vote.  Those range from Uber to the nail salon which primarily hires contract employees.

The structure was a contract gig. They range from how to manage hypothetical situations to what is a perfect day like for the gig applicant. This kind of required audition for a relatively low-paying gig seems to require a comprehensive reimagining. For a high-profile, decent-paying full-time job with benefits, sure, go through the audition. That's what Harvard Law School graduate Elie Mytal did in 2008.

That opens the door for other drivers to argue that they were or are "employees," not gig workers. The highest appeals court in France - Cour de Cassation - handed Uber a major defeat. As The Wall Street Journal reports, this has been the first court ruling around the world in which a driver has been classified as an employee. This particular ruling cannot be appealed. That's one reason why this court case is so significant. Uber has similar litigation going on in the U.S.

Their class action lawsuits seek to be defined legally as "employees," not "gig economy players." Each time Postmates does that it bills the gig economy workers 15-cents.  Happy gig workers, except when being stiffed. There are others in the gig economy, such as myself, who choose to stay with that legal designation. Will the evolving employer-labor relationship be decided in courts of law? Could be.

Being a contract worker or "gig economy" player is becoming as standard as the traditional full-time job with benefits used to be.    But, again, the legalities of the gig economy are being challenged in court. Again, as with Uber, lawyer Shannon Liss-Riordan is representing the plaintiff. At stake is the ability of employers in Silicon Valley to continue to use the business model of depending on contract employees. That saves them the expense of benefits.

Simultaneously, Uber's gig worker business model, which gives it a competitive edge, could become illegal - at least in California. It will be a death blow to the gig economy in CA, extending from nail salons to food delivery services.  As with WeWork, Uber investors are rising up.    For years, investors had bought into startups' pursuit of growth, at the expense of profit. After all, Jeff Bezos pulled that off at Amazon. That was then.

For gig economy players, we have more control over whether we work, at what, when, where, and for how much.    Mindset: Gig work is no better and no worse than traditional full time work. Obviously, the job situation in the U.S. is volatile. In September, the economy lost 33,000 jobs. However, unemployment declined to 4.2%. And the average hourly wage rose 2.9% to $26.55. Among the business niche hit hard is the selling of cars at auto dealers.
