This entry does not offer a complete, balanced picture of "contingent work." It opens with a link to what looks like a blog and a small online survey to support the claim that contingent work generally pays more than permanent work. Other sources (ones that strike me as reliable) paint a different picture. See, for example: Karen Kosanovich. A Look at Contingent Workers. Sept. 2018 at https://www.bls.gov/spotlight/2018/contingent-workers/home.htm More at: https://www.bls.gov/cps/lfcharacteristics.htm#contingent or 2002 Nicole Skalski.

+==Untitled==
+This entry does not offer a complete, balanced picture of "contingent work." It opens with a link to what looks like a blog and a small online survey to support the claim that contingent work generally pays more than permanent work. Other sources (ones that strike me as reliable) paint a different picture. See, for example:
+Karen Kosanovich. A Look at Contingent Workers. Sept. 2018 at https://www.bls.gov/spotlight/2018/contingent-workers/home.htm
-I am considering moving this article to [[casual work]]. Although I've had major input into this article, with hindsight I think that the term ''casual work'' is more widespread, and arguably more NPOV than ''contingent work'' - since ''casual work'' is more likely to be used by employment agencies and in classified listings - and the meaning of the two phrases is very similar.

+or
-That said - casual work perhaps isn't ''quite'' the same thing as contingent work. In particular, [[part time]] jobs are often considered contingent work, but aren't necessarily casual. And [[full time]] jobs in organisations that have an unusually high staff turnover might be considered contingent work, even if they're not casual.

-Also - the term [[contingent work]] seems to be used more commonly by those who consider it a social issue. Although such an opinion wouldn't be NPOV in itself, I still believe that it's legitimate to have an encyclopædia article covering those viewpoints. And I feel as though it would be more appropriate in an article about [[contingent work]] than in one about [[casual work]].

-At the moment, I don't think there's enough scope to justify [[casual work]] and [[contingent work]] being two separate articles, though that might change in the future. If there ''is'' scope to have articles on both subjects, they should definitely link to each other - and if there isn't, then one should redirect to the other.
-So I'm undecided, and would like opinions. Thanks. [[User:Squashy|Squashy]] 23:59, 20 November 2005 (UTC)
-== merge [[precarity]] here ==
-Someone created the "precarity" article, which apparently has now entered the English language. It comes from the French "précarité", and for all I can see, is the exact synonym of contingent work and other [[McJobs]]. So maybe we should simplify things, as WIkipedia is not a dictionnary, and have arguments and analyzes unified in the same article, shouldn't we? [[User:Lapaz|Lapaz]] 23:14, 5 May 2006 (UTC)
