Study finds gig workers report lowest job satisfaction

According to a study by the Angus Reid Institute, gig workers are those who report the lowest levels of job satisfaction, at just 39%. (Gig work refers to freelance jobs that are generally temporary or part-time, such as being an Uber driver.)

The highest levels of job satisfaction are among full-time (78%) and part-time (71%) workers.

“While gig work has been advertised as an avenue to freedom and flexibility, those who are relying on it for their primary source of income are not feeling the benefits.”

Overall, 70% of Canadians report that they are satisfied with their current employment situation.
