Most of the participants in odd jobs economic are young men, and only about half of the people who work odd jobs through online platforms are women. This may be because many recruiters require on-site service.

03 Compendium conclusion
The convenient and fast feature of doing odd jobs on behalf of Australia coincides with the slow pace of life in Australia, and we all know that the unrestrained nature of young Australians (some might say lazy) is very appropriate to doing odd jobs.
But is it really that easy to do odd jobs? Not stable enough and unable to combine their long-term career development, there are not only many restrictions, more likely to take the wrong step, regret for the rest of their lives.
Young friends should not think that it is easy to find odd jobs from these platforms. The editor's own experience is that the translated case alone has a very big competition. If the ability is not enough, it will really not be able to get a case. So it is very important to expand your abilities before choosing odd jobs or regular jobs.
