Abstract: One feature of the changing nature of work is an increase in gig and independent work, which includes a variety of full- and part-time activities for earning income outside of an employer-employee relationship. In the US, most of this work occurs within service industries. This paper describes the attributes and implications of gig and independent work in a set of US metropolitan economies and in the US as a whole, with an emphasis on determining its role within select service industries.
