BidMyServices.com and Gigonomics: Helping the U.S. Economy Stay Strong
Whether you’re a freelancer or a small (or medium sized) business hoping to make enough income in today’s tough times, everyone is agreeing that the gig economy is one solution that’s helping the nation cope. According to a popular job portal, freelance jobs have gone up 367% in 2007 to 2008, and showing no signs of stopping. How does the growing freelance market fit into the big picture?
BidMyServices.com actually helps two kinds of freelancers, local ones and the offshore kind. This is further split into two groups: those that hold multiple part time jobs and those with day jobs that moonlight on the side.
Look into every age group and work bracket and you’ve got everyone pitching in: blue collar, white collar, students, housewives and seniors are all looking into making more money. It’s not limited to the lower income bracket either. According to a recent poll even those with college degrees (some who get more than 75,000 a year) are working second jobs and doing part time work to keep up with the bills.
Businesses/Service Buyers
For those with small businesses, having projects that can be outsourced can save a ton on operational expenses. Nevertheless, to stay afloat, these businesses should rely on quality work with excellent providers.
BidMyServices.com ensures you get the best providers for your business. The best people can save your bottom line with the most efficient work in half the time. Hiring mediocre talent will produce only unspectacular results that can force you to hire more people to make up for the slack. And no business wants that.
Trends to Watch Out For
Homeshoring is surprisingly on the rise, as more U.S. employees are getting into the freelance action. Though most businesses avoid hiring locally because of higher costs, some are opting for workers that are in the same time zone to have easier connections, and more satisfying results.
Offshoring, meanwhile, continues to grow with more countries jumping into the competitive freelance market. We are now seeing more western countries aside from those in low-cost places competing for the same jobs.
In 2009, it’s reported that there is a $6 difference between homeshoring and offshoring services, but the freelance market is still working on better rates to avoid discrimination and exploitation.
The Future Looks Bright
Job portals and job bid companies like BidMyservices.com will continue to push for a better U.S. economy with new jobs to keep people working and keep businesses afloat with lower expenses. Enough with the negative hype and let’s tackle the economy!
