| Sumario: | Both the number and proportion of workers with contingent jobs—jobs that are structured to be short term or temporary—fell between 1995 and 1997.

The writer discusses data on contingent work arrangements from the second special supplement to the Current Population survey on the topic, conducted in February 1997. |
