SAN FRANCISCO - October 13, 2022 - (Newswire.com)

Instawork, the leading platform for connecting businesses with skilled workers, announced today the platform's availability to hourly workers in the Kansas City area looking to earn higher wages during the holiday season and beyond.

In Kansas City, the average hourly pay rate on the Instawork platform is $17.20 per hour, more than 50% over the state's minimum wage of $11.15. That increase gives Show-Me State residents a way to pay for added expenses to their household budgets during the upcoming holidays by downloading the Instawork app and staffing business locations across the area. 

More than 23,000 people in Kansas City have already downloaded the Instawork app and are working to staff business locations across the area. Common roles for Instawork in Kansas City include general labor, warehouse, event server, and prep cook shifts. 

The news comes following Instawork's announcement that over 1 million people have joined the app in the last six months leading up to the holiday season to fill shifts in the first post-Covid holiday season. 

"From gifts to groceries for special meals, the holidays can be an expensive time of year, particularly for those making minimum wage," said Kira Caban, Instawork's Head of Strategic Communications. "With Instawork, Kansas City workers can quickly increase their income, allowing them to enjoy this special time with their families even more."
