Basically they're on-demand labour with zero security and benefits.
Some percentage will count as genuine independent contract work work for a number of employers. But a larger percentage will be semi-employed temps hired on a per-project or as-needed basis.
Thus not quite in the same realm as Graeber's bullshit jobs, but certainly not employed in the sense of traditional economic definitions.
Those jobs are generally shit, although the pay is a bit better than working part-time at the grocery store or something. Be nice to America. Or we'll bring democracy to your country.
