Why understaffed businesses should embrace the gig economy
From airlines, to hotels and restaurants, as well as many other sectors, companies are crying out for workers as they slowly get back to business following months of inactivity. Laid-off workers are not coming back in the required numbers and businesses are struggling to meet demand.
