Body paragraph 1
Notably, burgeoning gig economy offers abundant temporary vacancies in a string of freelance jobs, ranging from ride-hailing service and food deliveries to tutoring and code writing. This access to flexibility and independence is a leading cause for a rising number of job hoppers, who put a high value on work-life balance and mobility in life. Nonetheless, workplace discontent is at the core of the causes. Previous studies show that a whopping turnover rate in tech companies, financial sectors, healthcare and childcare could be mainly explained by grueling burnout, deceptive workplace cultures and stagnant compensation. These obstacles finally elbow out employees with rising financial responsibility for their family.
解析
本段译文(translation)：
值得注意的是，新兴的零工经济为一系列自由职业提供了大量的临时职位，从叫车服务、送餐到辅导和编程。这种灵活性和独立性是越来越多的人跳槽的主要原因，他们非常重视工作与生活的平衡和生活的流动性。尽管如此，工作场所的不满情绪是原因的核心。此前的研究表明，科技公司、金融行业、医疗保健和儿童保育行业的高流失率主要可以解释为令人筋疲力尽、具有欺骗性的职场文化和停滞不前的薪酬。这些障碍最终使那些需要承担家庭经济责任的员工不得不离开岗位。

Body paragraph 2
At first glance, constant switching jobs seem to bode well for societal progress; more public funds could be made possible, when a pronounced uptick in overall income is generated. By the same token, having more labor force landing more aligned jobs, an overall mental wellbeing could positively contribute to a sustainable social development. However, a gloomy consumer confidence brought on by extended unemployment could sabotage the aforementioned rosy scenario. Fearing that their employability could be further depreciated, long-term jobless workers are forced to tighten their purse strings. This thriftiness, in turn, could translate into a precipitous drop in company sales, ultimately eroding prospects of many other sectors.
解析

乍一看，不断换工作似乎是社会进步的好兆头；当总收入显著增加时，就有可能提供更多的公共资金。同样的道理，更多的劳动力找到更合适的工作，整体的心理健康可以为可持续的社会发展做出积极的贡献。然而，长期失业带来的低迷的消费者信心可能会破坏上述美好的前景。由于担心自己的就业能力可能会进一步贬值，长期失业的工人被迫勒紧裤腰带。这种节俭反过来又可能导致公司销售额急剧下降，最终侵蚀其他许多行业的前景。
