The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and New York's attorney general have filed a complaint against the gig work app Handy for misleading advertisements regarding worker earnings and undisclosed fees. The complaint alleges that Handy, owned by Angi, inflated potential earnings while failing to disclose fees that significantly reduce worker pay. Handy has agreed to a $2.95 million settlement to refund affected workers but does not admit any wrongdoing. The FTC emphasized that many workers rely on this income, with some struggling to meet basic living expenses due to the app's practices.
