COVID-19 pandemic
Two years into the COVID-19 pandemic, with over 80 million reported cases and nearly 1 million deaths in the United States, the labor market is approaching its 2020 pre-pandemic level of tightness. As the Omicron variant of COVID-19 subsided, many state economies continued their return to more normal economic activity. Unions worked to solidify the gains in worker power afforded to them by the conditions of the pandemic and the “Great Reshuffling,” with high-profile grassroots wins secured by Amazon and Starbucks workers.

The fourth quarter of 2021
The fourth quarter of 2021 saw steady improvement in the labor market, even as the Omicron variant of COVID-19 continued to spread across the country. Though the incidence of cases was relatively high throughout the Omicron outbreak, the widespread availability of vaccines and boosters limited the severity of those cases. As workers moved back into the labor market, the economy continued to grow, though at a slower pace than in previous quarters of the recovery from 2020’s recession.

Our Mission
It is our mission to introduce convenience and enhance the future of work. We cannot predict the future but we can control it. Using the internet, our society has created interconnected communities in which we now socialize and produce work in a more controlled and traceable way. We now have ai, machine learning, integrations, and automation that complete human task for us, eliminating potential jobs for us. Or so it seems, the unemployment rates are 3.8% in 2022Q1, 3.9% in AZ, and the highest observed in DC at 6.2%.
Assuming we can successfully launch our social media tasks management service, we could introduce more jobs, and more conveniences for individuals to maintain their existing jobs. We would be introducing a more flexible form of time management. A virtual assistance type of service that could benefit both individuals and businesses. We would be providing a solution to resolving all issues within the realm of the future of work. For the most part, individuals are scared that they will lose their jobs due to the future of technology. As it has been in the past, we foresee an evolution the future jobs, not a total replacement. While we work on better software for completing functions, our jobs become easier, requiring fewer employees and less education. Having the internet as a resource can be quite handy, which now in days everyone has a cell phone, and therefore has the internet as a resource primarily in the palm of their hand at all times. We are taking a service that is already there, social media, and making it into a service for accomplishing tasks.
We are about connecting individuals with other individuals based on their skill set, not their job history or their education. Tasks Managers will be self-employed, meaning that they can work on a schedule of their choice using a device connected to the internet, which includes cell phones. This means as long as users have a device connected to the internet, they can work from it. Most notably cellular devices are growing to be as fast as computers and are more hands-on with their touch screen capabilities. We will have set up the mainframe for individuals to connect with one another upon completion of simple tasks. This can potentially help individuals obtain work much faster than traditional methods, as they don’t need to look for an employer or go through a long interview process. Simply fill out their W-9 form and log in to select a task to work on that was submitted by another user. They can even earn the payment as early as the same day so long as the process is completed. Think of this service as the next Uber service, where you can get tasks completed as fast as you can get a ride from Uber. You can simply post for someone to complete a task of wakening you up via phone calls or even placing phone calls for you and emailing you a dialogue of what was discussed, saving you time throughout the day. Even small businesses could potentially save money by listing tasks to be completed rather than hiring employees. Task Managers can enjoy a more relaxed work environment so long as they are completing tasks on time with quality work.

We expect tasks to be completed slowly in the early rollouts of the service as users become more familiar with us. The task will be reviewed to prevent fraud and illegal activities. If interested in this service we are asking people to like, comment, and follow us on social media. You can also sign up for our email list on our website TapATasks.com to receive a notification when the app launches.
