Temporary Staffing Does The Gig Thing

When you think of the gig economy, many of us think of Uber, Task Rabbit, or some other gig shrouded in an entrepreneurial-type aspiration. You think of a person setting their own hours, working for themselves, maybe stringing together several "gigs" to make that ideal work schedule and being their own boss.  Well, Wonolo, and companies like it, may be changing this paradigm. 

Wonolo takes the gig platform—utilizing an app to connect willing workers with consumers—in a different way. Instead of the individual consumer being the end-user consumer, the Wonolo app functions as a temporary staffing agency, connecting the willing worker to a temporary employer—largely in the blue collar arena.
