DonMeixner The Gig Economy (18) RE: The Gig Economy 21 Jul 20


My income comes from Social Security, two bands, and working as a silver smith. Our booked gigs where all cancelled after 28 February 2020. My outlet for my jewelry has been high end craft fairs. All of which have been cancelled for 2020. This would be equal to half of my annual income.

We have done two jobs in the last week. One in a local park where people brought their own chairs, wore masks, and kept their distance.
The other gig was a facebook concert of a virtual Irish Fest. Both jobs ended up paying about 1/2 of what we would have been paid in the previous year.

We are trying a Virtual Craft Fair in September. I will have to create a video/slide show of my jewelry. I am not complaining at all. I am impressed that people are trying to create a bit of normalcy.

Don
