Gig work is not common[1]. It just gets disproportionate attention.

Your [1] shows 4% of Americans currently engaged in gig work, and 16% of Americans having ever done gig work. What's your threshold for 'common'?

Definitely more than 4% at any given time. At least 20%, I'd say.

In the context of the IRS providing a useful filing tool, covering 96% of Americans' income sources would be fantastic.
