Whether this new work model is a personal career choice or one resulting from a downsizing or merger, a couple of things are certain: the nature of employment has been changed and along with it the full-time employee’s status regarding health insurance. Many companies are hiring freelancers to avoid the cost of healthcare insurance. To understand the implications the gig economy holds for the future, positive or negative, NGOs are continuing to track the numbers associated with this evolving paradigm.
