The percentage of the working population involved in the gig economy varies based on the source and the specific methods of measurement. Generally, estimates suggest that in the US, around 30% of the workforce engages in some form of independent work or gig economy activities. In Europe, the figure can vary by country, but it tends to range similarly, around 10-30% for various forms of independent work.
Given the options you provided, 30-40% would be the most accurate response for the US, while for Europe, the response might lean more towards the lower end of that range, 10-20% being common.
Therefore, if we consider a consolidated view for the US, a good estimate would be 30-40%. For Europe, it might best be represented by the 10-20% range. Based on your question focusing on a singular percentage without defining regions discreetly, I would choose 30-40% for a more generalized estimate regarding the gig economy in the US.
