(Sponsored Content--) An Uber driver said that, in his opinion, gig work driving is easy and uncomplicated. With the amount of people taking to gig work increasing, it would appear that many agree with his take.

Gallup reported in 2018 that 36% of America's workforce, approximately 59 million people, had a gig job. That same Gallup poll reported that 29% of all U.S. workers engaged in gig work as their main occupation.

"It's the simplest job ever," part-time Uber driver Brian Raskin told Washington D.C. Business Daily. "If anybody's complaining about doing this job, they're doing it wrong. It's really simple: You pick the people up, take them where they want to go, and that's it. If there's an issue, you just call the Uber helpline."

Although Raskin said that driving people to their destinations is simple, he feels that delivering food and other goods is simpler still.

"Doing deliveries is even easier," Raskin said. "I don't have to think of the person. I just have to pick up the food, then bring the food to the people. And it's no-touch delivery; I just leave it on their front porch or wherever they tell me to leave it, take a picture, and move on to the next one. Anybody who is complaining is doing it wrong."

One of the most attractive aspects of gig work is the flexibility, since workers have the ability to choose their own hours, Gallup reported.

"Independent gig workers (such as online platform workers and independent contractors) experience high levels of work-life balance, flexibility, autonomy, meaningful feedback and creative freedom," Gallup reported. "In fact, they score much higher on all these factors compared with traditional workers and other types of gig workers."

Uber offers its services in 10,000 cities in 71 countries, reporting 16 million trips per day as of June 30, 2021, with 101 million active monthly platform users. The company said that as of Dec. 30, 2020, it had paid its drivers and delivery people $142 billion in total payments since the company's founding in March 2009.
