A major concern in today's economic reality is the effect of changing wage-setting choices into contracting decisions, and in particular the extent to which 'gig economy' in comparison to traditional economy, promotes inequality. We use a laboratory experimental market method, to study work valuation under contract trading (as is the case in the 'gig economy') and under employment trading (as is the case in traditional economy). We show that the net valuation of work, both by workers and employers decreases when the transactions are framed as contract trading, rather than as employment - pointing to a novel factor increasing inequality.
