Gen Z and millennials are more into gig work than ever, BofA says — but it’s not coming close to making ends meet::Despite taking on more side hustles, Gen Z and millennials are spending less.
Saying Gen Z and Millennials are “more into gig work” is kinda like saying black people are “more into incarceration”. I assure you, it is not indicative of a preference.
Yeah, it is bullshit. The correct way to say it is that Gen Z and Millenials are being fucked up by the system and exploited, and the gig work is often the only source of income they have.
Gen Z is into gig work like how the poor are into intermittent fasting.
“more into gig work”
You mean forced to accept worse working conditions because of the historical indifference to the working class by the people in charge, and the systematic dismantling of union power over the last 70 years?
More like forced into it by these multiple “once-in-a-lifetime” economic crisis.
BofA deez nutz!

Are we “into” it, or are careers just fictional now?
Trying to stay at the same company for any length of time is a terrible move these days. I think without exception you will always get better pay raises moving to a different company than moving up in the same company. If you’re not just laid off by the hundreds or thousands.
Young people should be organizing.
So into it, the same way children were really into coal mining before those pesky child labor laws ruined their fun!
Huh. It’s almost like this country is a giant scam that crushes people at the bottom and only benefits the owners of these companies.
The job market is utterly shit right now, they frankly do not have a choice.
Yeah, I don’t think this is exactly by choice.
Yes I’m working a gig job as a second job rn. Not because I’m into it or want to (though it is somewhat enjoyable relatively speaking), but because I need the few hundred dollars a month. Same reason I work at all. Not because I’m into it but because I need to.
