  2. 2. From delivery, transportation and household errands, to professional services and consulting, the on-demand economy is not only changing the way people consume goods and services, it’s also changing the way millions of Americans work. With incredible flexibility and stunning ease-of-entry, this new economy is empowering a new generation of entrepreneurs. In an updated forecast by Intuit and Emergent Research, the number of people working on-demand jobs will grow from 3.9 million Americans to 7.7 million in 2020, and an impressive 9.2 million by 2021. In 2015, Intuit kicked-off a research project in partnership with Emergent Research and eleven on-demand economy and online talent marketplace companies to gain a deep and objective understanding of the motivations, aspirations and pain points of individuals choosing on-demand jobs. In the latest study, new findings reveal that the on-demand economy has taken on a key role in improving the financial stability of people looking for flexible opportunities to supplement income. INTRODUCTION 1
  3. 3. METHODOLOGY For this study we surveyed 6,247 people who find work via an on-demand platform that connects service providers with customers. People working via the following platforms are included in this report: • Amazon Mechanical Turk, Avvo, Catalant, Field Nation, Kelly Services, Lyft, MBO Partners, OnForce, TaskRabbit, Upwork, Wonolo, Work Market Results weighted to reflect the proportion of providers in each of the following segments: • Drivers/Delivery • Online Talent Marketplaces • Field Service/Onsite Talent The overall 2016 results are statistically consistent with the 2015 results. 2
  4. 4. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY People engaged in on-demand work are looking for flexible opportunities to smooth out unpredictable income, while also testing ways to build a secure financial future: • On-Demand Work is Used to Supplement Existing Income: The average person working an on-demand job spends 11 hours per week, and earns 24 percent of their household income via on-demand work. Forty-one percent also have a traditional full-or part-time job. • On-Demand Work Fills Near-Term Financial Needs: Sixty-six percent of people working on-demand report having variable monthly income. Forty-one percent say that a financial hardship – such as a job loss, medical problem, or unexpected major expense – impacted them during the prior year. By contrast, just 18 percent of all Americans in a recent U.S. Federal Reserve survey reported encountering a financial emergency. • On-Demand Work Is Used To Build A Sustainable Future: Many people are leaning on on-demand economy work to either develop a new business or supplement and expand an existing business Thirty-seven percent already own a business, and 21 percent want to build a business. • There is General Satisfaction With On-Demand Work: 38 percent of people working in the on-demand economy say they are better off, while only 14 percent feel they are worse off. Eighty-one percent plan to continue working an on-demand job over the next 12 months, and 67 percent of people are satisfied with their on-demand work. ! 3
