SAN FRANCISCO - August 25, 2022 - (Newswire.com)

Instawork, the leading platform for connecting businesses with skilled workers, announced today the platform's availability to hourly workers in the Charlotte, North Carolina, area looking to earn more money and make a living wage. 

In Charlotte, the average hourly pay rate on the Instawork platform is $16.13, more than double the local minimum wage of $7.25 - an hourly rate that has not been increased by the state in more than a decade. 

The Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Living Wage Calculator estimates that a single adult without children would need to make more than double that to support themselves. 

More than 22,000 people in Charlotte have already downloaded the Instawork app and are working to staff business locations across the area. The most common role in the area is general labor. 

"Charlotte's workers deserve a fair living wage to support themselves and their families," said Kira Caban, Instawork's Head of Strategic Communications. "Instawork offers them that, particularly in a time when inflation has increased the cost of everyday necessities like gas and groceries."

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

Hourly professionals (Instawork Pros) using Instawork experience: 

  • Work flexibility: build schedules around personal lives and income goals.
  • Financial stability: view shift earnings before you work.
  • Unlimited income potential: work as little or as much as you want.
  • Get paid quickly: ability to get paid the same day.

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.
