Orlando Workers Treat Tourists to Holiday Magic and Earn More With Instawork
In Orlando, the average hourly pay rate on the Instawork platform is $17 per hour, a vast improvement over the state's minimum wage of $11 per hour.
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 17, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Instawork, the leading platform for connecting businesses with skilled workers, announced today the platform's availability to hourly workers in the Orlando area looking to earn higher wages during the magical holiday season and beyond.
In Orlando, the average hourly pay rate on the Instawork platform is $17 per hour, a vast improvement over the state's minimum wage of $11 per hour. That steep increase gives Sunshine State residents a way to pay for pricey additions to their household budgets during the holidays. Residents can easily get started by downloading the Instawork app, creating a profile, and finding work opportunities with businesses across the Orlando area.
While Florida recently increased its minimum wage by a dollar as part of its six-year plan to bring the minimum wage to $15 by 2026, flexible workers who join Instawork won't have to wait years to achieve the increased level of income. They have immediate access to higher pay rates as this is particularly important with current inflation and a recession looming.
More than 48,000 people in Orlando have already downloaded the Instawork app and are working to staff business locations across the area. Common roles for Instawork in Orlando include prep cook, event server, warehouse associate, general labor, and counter staff/cashier.
The news comes following Instawork's announcement that over 1 million people have joined the app in recent months leading up to the holiday season to fill shifts in the first post-covid holiday season.
"Orlando is a top destination for travel, particularly at the holidays," said Kira Caban, Instawork's Head of Strategic Communications. "At this very expensive time of year, local workers can help businesses provide a fantastic customer experience while they make more money. When it comes to holiday gifts, travel costs, and special meals, the difference in pay can be a huge help for families."
Pros can easily create a profile, find a shift that matches their skills and interests, and start working in as little as 24 hours.
