The rise of the side hustle isn’t just a trend, it’s an important signal.
At Instawork, we’ve seen firsthand how Americans are adapting to economic uncertainty by taking control of their work and income through flexible, app-based opportunities.
In a recent article for FOX Business, our Head of Communications, @Kcaban, shared:
“We’re seeing a surge in people turning to side hustles as a way to build financial stability in these uncertain economic times. Two years ago, about 20% of new signups were between the ages of 18 and 24. That jumped to 40% in recent weeks.”
This shift reflects a broader generational move toward autonomy, skills stacking, and supplemental income, and it's only accelerating.

At Instawork, we're dedicated to helping workers of all ages find opportunity, financial stability, and fulfillment through flexible work.
That’s why we’re excited to see @Kcaban, our Head of Strategic Communications, quoted in @Forbes discussing how technology is empowering seniors to stay active and earn on their own terms.
“We’re seeing more seniors turn to flexible, app-based work to stay active, earn supplemental income, and stay connected to their communities,” says Kira. “Technology has made it easier than ever to find shifts that match their skills and schedules - on their terms.”

Worker compliance doesn’t have to be complicated.
Across industries like food production, hospitality, and light industrial, immigration enforcement actions are causing sudden labor shortages and operational challenges. Staying compliant takes work and most businesses aren’t set up to handle this at scale.
Instawork is. We’ve verified millions of workers, and now we’re making that same powerful system available to our Partners. Compliance is no longer optional. Eliminate guesswork and stay compliant.
