The big shift of people on ubi going from wage work to self employment being one of the biggest points of note from this study is interesting. That’s probably a major reason why most US lawmakers would not want ubi.
Something I find interesting is this study didn’t show an increase in hours worked unlike a couple of other smaller studies, that if I recall correctly focused on giving ubi to people who were not currently working.
This definitely falls into a lot of the same territory as most other gig work. A lot of the problems of the gig economy are showcased with jobs that pay like this. It lures in people who would be making $40-120 more in a week doing the same thing elsewhere
