Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the effects of an increasingly contingent workforce, a phenomenon born from the rising use of part-time, temporary, and other non-traditional employment arrangements. The author argues that its proliferation poses a growing threat to the free enterprise system and has stark implications for workers, our economy, the standard of living, and global competitiveness. Corporations, driven by profit margins, cut labor costs by hiring more contingent workers, leaving them without benefits or job security. The book asserts that contingent work is a growing problem, with over 34 million Americans presently engaged in such labor. It discusses the trend's impact on workers, the strategies corporations employ, and the subsequent policy responses from the federal government. It concludes that while contingent work may offer flexibility, it also comes with a steep price, leaving many workers in precarious financial situations with little to no job protection or benefits.
