New York State Senate to Examine Gig Economy

Zovio helps train and hire unemployed workers. CEO Andrew Clark sits down with Cheddar to talk about Americans can get the skills employers want.

Musician Ari Herstand discusses his work with politicians on re-writing California's controversial new bill AB5, which has caused more headaches than anticipated.

Stephen DeWitt, CEO of WorkMarket, discusses the differences between the gig and freelance economy, claiming that freelance work will reign supreme. DeWitt notes that freelance work thrives on highly skilled workers and our increasingly tech-connected workforce allows freelancers to work when they want to. We talk about the September jobs report, which saw the first decline in payrolls in 7 years. DeWitt adds that he mostly agrees with analysts - that the decline was a blip due to a difficult hurricane season. However, he notes that it is something that we must keep an eye on. We also speak with DeWitt about the rise of automation and what that means for human jobs, as it grows in popularity.
