More Information
Summary:Desired outcomes include psychological wellbeing, increasing the rates of retention to graduation, increasing the economic efficiency by reducing the number of course and university withdrawals, and leveraging the benefits of group interventions for students' growth (Hansen, Jackson, & Pedersen, 2017). The authors use information from the Bureau of Labor Statistics to shed light on the reality of the gig economy. Contrary to what is often portrayed in popular media and in the professional development resources for career practitioners, the proportion of those working in the gig economy has not substantially increased in the US job market: 6.9% in 2017 versus 6.4% in 2005.
