University of Chicago economist Dmitri Koustas who has done extensive studies on the gig economy discusses US government's response to the COVID-19 health and economic crises, and what it means for gig workers.

"The extension of UI (Unemployment Insurance) payments to gig workers is a big deal. I’d also like to see aspects of our social safety net that are not tied to the employer, like food stamps and Medicaid, be strengthened and expanded"- Prof. Dmitri Koustas
