SAN FRANCISCO - July 27, 2022 - (Newswire.com)

Instawork, the leading platform for connecting businesses with skilled workers, announced today the platform's availability to hourly workers in the Philadelphia area looking to earn higher wages during a time when inflation is stressing household budgets. 

In Philadelphia, the average hourly pay rate on the Instawork platform is $16.69, more than double the local minimum wage of $7.25. Philadelphia's 8.8% inflation rate is the city's highest since 1982 and increasing costs are putting financial pressure on residents.

More than 120,000 people in Philadelphia have already downloaded the Instawork app and are working to staff business locations across the area. Common roles in Philadelphia include general labor, warehouse associates, event servers, concessions, bartenders, retail, and custodial shifts.

"While inflation is at a record high, people are looking for ways to offset the increased costs for everyday necessities like gas and groceries," said Kira Caban, Instawork's Head of Strategic Communications. "Picking up just a few shifts on Instawork can not only help offset these rising costs but can also help workers in Philadelphia achieve work flexibility."

Pros can easily create a profile, find a shift that matches their skills and interests, and start working in as little as 24 hours.

  • Work flexibility: build schedules around personal lives and income goals
  • Financial stability: view shift earnings before working
  • Unlimited income potential: work as little or as much as you want

Businesses that rely on Instawork Pros range from nationally recognized hotels and restaurant groups to some of the city's favorite local hot spots and sports venues. These businesses are consistently matched with high-quality, reliable Pros to fill available shifts and deliver valuable services. The Instawork platform encourages both hourly workers and businesses to rate each other on a five-star scale after each shift to help match future shifts with those who are best qualified.
