Does gig economy need regulation?

Millions of Americans are part of what's known as the "gig" or "sharing" economy. They piece together an income where and when they can, but that also means they're not getting the benefits or security full-time employees traditionally receive. Finance expert and founder of website Non Political News, Vera Gibbons, joins "CBS This Morning: Saturday" to discuss the rapid growth of jobs in this sector and why employers may need to start stepping up what they offer to the part-time workers.
