In Craigslist parlance, what's the difference between a job and a gig.

I.e. what is the diff between the listings at http://dallas.craigslist.org/ggg/ vs. http://dallas.craigslist.org/jjj/ ? Pay scale? Duration? Benefits? I can't find a meaningful difference.
Tip for best answer: M$0.00
Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

As I see it, the difference is this.

Jobs are employment - working for a company, full-time, long-term, etc. More of a formal thing.

Gigs (the word is what musicians call an engagement where they are paid to play) are more of a temporary, one-time job and they are usually of a creative nature -- musician, writer, stripper, sign painting, etc. More of a casual thing.

A "gig" is a single professional engagement. Freelancers generally have gigs to perform their professional function one time for a particular client, i.e. musicians hired for one party, babysitters hired for one night, and web designers hired for one fix to a website. Your pay would be a one-time fee; no benefits.
