<br/><br/> "During the late-1990s the United States experienced rapid economic growth. But while the unemployment rate by 1999 had fallen to its lowest point since the 1960s, the number of contingent and nonstandard workers reached an all-time high. The term contingent refers to jobs that are of limited or uncertain duration. Nonstandard refers to any work arrangement other than a full-time wage and salary job." (MONTHLY REVIEW) This article outlines the varied labor market from contingent to temporary to contract workers, and the author explains the role each category plays in comprising America's workforce.
