所謂零工經濟就是臨時性的工作變得極為普遍。一般公司傾向於聘用獨立契約工(商)以及自由工作者，而不是全職員工。零工經濟使得傳統的全職工作逐漸瓦解。
零工經濟的結果就是提供比較低價、比較有效率的服務，例如Uber。一些不喜歡運用網路這種高科技服務的人就比較不會享受到零工經濟所帶來的便利，大城市通常是服務工作發展比較完整的地方，夜市零工經濟涉入較深入的地方。
In a gig economy, temporary jobs are commonplace and companies tend toward hiring independent contractors and freelancers instead of full-time employees. A gig economy undermines the traditional economy of full-time.
The result of a gig economy is cheaper, more efficient services, such as Uber. Those who don’t engage in using technological services such as the Internet tend to be left behind by the benefits of the gig economy. Cities tend to have the most highly developed services and are the most rooted in the gig economy.
