Contingent work in the late-1990s.
Despite the strong labor market, the number of workers with contingent positions—short-term or temporary jobs—changed little between 1997 and 1999. In February 1999, 5.6 million, or 4.3 percent, of workers held contingent jobs, a level close to that of 1997, and the characteristics of those workers...

In February 1999, 5.6 million, or 4.3 percent, of workers held contingent jobs, a level close to that of 1997, and the characteristics of those workers were similar to those identified in earlier surveys, with the probability of holding a contingent job continuing to be greater for women, young people, students, noncitizens, and part-timers. Data from the 1999 survey also continue to indicate that contingent workers earned less and were less likely than those with noncontingent work to have been included in employer-provided health or pension plans. The writer discusses the results of the February 1999 Contingent and Alternative Work Arrangement Supplement to the Current Population Survey. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: N holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
