Instawork Strikes a Chord With Music City Workers Ahead of Holiday Season

SAN FRANCISCO, October 27, 2022 (Newswire.com) - Instawork, the leading platform for connecting businesses with skilled workers, announced today the platform's availability to hourly workers in the Nashville area looking to earn higher wages during the holiday season and beyond.

In Nashville, the average hourly pay rate on the Instawork platform is $16.36 per hour, more than double the state's minimum wage of $7.25. That steep increase gives Music City residents a way to pay for pricey additions to their household budgets during the upcoming holidays by downloading the Instawork app and staffing business locations across the area. 

More than 35,000 people in Nashville have already downloaded the Instawork app and are working to staff business locations across the area. Common roles for Instawork in Nashville include general labor, warehouse associates, counter staff/cashiers, line cook shifts, and work in event setup and takedown. 

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. 

"The ability to more than double their income is music to the ears of those making the local minimum wage," said Kira Caban, Instawork's Head of Strategic Communications. "Nashville is known for its southern hospitality and now local workers can help businesses provide great customer service while they make money for the holidays."
