SAN FRANCISCO - October 6, 2022 - (Newswire.com)

Instawork, the leading platform for connecting businesses with skilled workers, announced today the platform's availability to hourly workers in the Houston area looking to earn higher wages while enjoying consistent, reliable economic opportunity.

The announcement comes after economists at the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas released a report last week concluding that mounting evidence points to an economic slowdown for Texas, adding that the numbers could signal a recession is coming. 

During this challenging time, Instawork offers the ability for Houston workers to more than double their pay. In Houston, the average hourly pay rate on the Instawork platform is $14.80, while the state's minimum wage of $7.25 has remained the same since 2008. 

"During periods of economic uncertainty, Instawork provides hourly workers with economic stability," said Kira Caban, Instawork's Head of Strategic Communications. "Workers in Houston know that they can easily find ample work opportunities through our platform while enjoying work flexibility and higher income potential."

More than 85,000 hourly workers in Houston have already downloaded the Instawork app and are taking advantage of the opportunities it provides, staffing more than 300 business locations across the area. 

Common roles in Houston include general labor, warehouse associates, event servers, and line cooks. 

Pros can easily create a profile, find a shift that matches their skills and interests, and start working in as little as 24 hours.

Hourly professionals (Instawork Pros) using Instawork experience: 

  • Work flexibility: build schedules around personal lives and income goals
  • Financial stability: view shift earnings before they work
  • Unlimited income potential: work as little or as much as they want
  • Get paid quickly: ability to get paid the same day
  • Unique and exciting work opportunities

Businesses that rely on Instawork Pros range from nationally recognized hotels and restaurant groups to some of the city's favorite local hot spots and sports venues. These businesses are consistently matched with high-quality, reliable Pros to fill available shifts and deliver valuable services. The Instawork platform encourages both hourly workers and businesses to rate each other on a five-star scale after each shift to help match future shifts with those who are best qualified.
