Awesome question. As I'm sure you're aware, one of the big problems that folks are dealing with in the gig economy is the status of contract workers. One big incentive for Lackiis to join us rather than another "gig site" is that Lackiis are employees that would receive benefits, so they're not left out in the wild like many 1099 workers. Another advantage of working with LACKII is flexibility and the ability to work with a multitude of different businesses. Since many of the folks that we are targeting to become LACKIIs are current or recent college grads and folks like new parents who may be looking for some kind of flexible employment, LACKII is an excellent place for those folks to work to develop new skills and learn about new and emerging trends in the business world. These are people who might otherwise be looking for inconsistent work on sites like TaskRabbit and FancyHands.
