The freelance retirement crisis no one is talking about

Americans don’t save enough for retirement. And gig economy workers are likely to struggle more than others. 

Freelancers, independent contractors and sharing economy workers may be even less prepared for retirement but those who work in the gig economy have some options if they wish to take advantage of provisions in the US tax code.

  • One in three of them set aside no money for retirement
  • One-third associate retirement with anxiety
