The nature of work is changing. According to the Bureau of Labor, roughly 52% of the labor
market is made up of people who work part-time, hourly jobs. For these people, unemployment
and underemployment are rising. For those who remain, legislation is causing employers to cut
hours in order to cut costs.
Labor is quickly becoming the most prohibitive asset on a cost basis for thousands of
businesses who employ hourly labor. Because of this, they’re taking any measure they can to
cut costs so their businesses can survive. At Forge, we know there is a better way to solve
these cost issues.
Now more than ever, there is a need for Forge. Our technology turns these hourly, part-time
workers into employees of the on-demand economy. It provides both sides of the business
equation — Employers and Team Members — the optionality and flexibility that is necessary to
keep these businesses alive and the employees at a happy standard of living.
