In this economy, it’s normal for a retiree to opt for a part-time job to bring in some extra money. There are some websites and apps out there that could really prove to be great employment resources.
In this article, I’ll highlight four job apps that have opportunities geared toward more seasoned workers. Some of these jobs require specific skills, but not all of them do. Note that these four apps are geared toward gig economy jobs which are usually short-term and temporary.
