The dire economic outlook could be leading some to consider “gig” jobs or temporary jobs to help them get by until they land a permanent full-time role. Many people turned to the gig economy to pay the bills in 2008, when layoffs were far and wide. But unlike 2008, in 2020, laid-off workers need to take into account whether or not the extra money from certain gigs is worth potentially compromising their health.

Many gig jobs - like driving for a ride-hailing app - involve close interaction with other people. But earning extra money doesn’t necessarily have to mean putting yourself at risk of contracting the pandemic. Some ideas of available jobs that could be an opportunity globally to help with the recession and help people with their tough job market.

The book contains the most disruptive, innovative, and transformational start-up ideas post pandemic that will change the business models for decades to come.
