One in ten and one in three canadians and hontarians, respectively, om have worked in gig work. In the pendemic intronto, we saw huge, huge numbers of new workers come to this work because folks lost their jobs during the panedemic. And so i am skeptical that there are eno like your listeners, for example. I am skeptical that your listeners do not know somebody who does gig work. That person may not be proud of that gig work, and they may not talk about it a lot,. But i am certain that you know a gig and that is the reality.
