BILL HEMMER (CO-ANCHOR): One last point on that. Folks say yeah, you've got to work harder these days to get by, you hear these debates. You've got to work two or three jobs. I know people who want to work two jobs. They're willing to do it and many of them now have the opportunity. How do you see it?
CHARLES PAYNE (FOX BUSINESS HOST): I agree with that, and it's called the gig economy. We typically celebrate it. Now, there's some people work who work two jobs and don't want to. That's still a very small percentage of Americans. It's considered an opportunity. My son and I had lunch yesterday, he told me about an Uber driver who always picks him up in California, and he can't wait for the surges to go up. He's got an app, and he goes out and he leaves one job and he gets in his Uber and goes to the other job.
HEMMER: Really?
PAYNE: People see it as an opportunity in this country, not as something that's a bad thing.
