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.

-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.

-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)
-:I don't think "official terminology" is necessarily always more NPOV than how people speak. Official terminology sometimes has a tendance of becoming [[newspeak]], and there is a policy here against [[weasel words]]. So, I think the two could be kept separate. However, the content of the article is actually more important than the name, so if the contents are identical, they should be joined. We could then have a debate on which name is most appropriate.

-== 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)
-== precarity an cont. work seperate ==
-i don't think these should be merged. whilst it does seem a synonym of contingent work, it also varies differently, as this term has a unique basis in the current social movements though out europe. i think the term precarity represents a unique analysis, different to "contingent work".
-maybe instead what should happen, is some contributions on the unique political analysis of work that has risen out of europe recently because this is the context in which precarity has entered the language. i think precarity is part of the discourse of a new neo-marxist analysis of labour, indeed, talk of "the precariat" has risen in political economy journals.
-i think we should pay attention to the new discourse in which this word is being used. this analysis is new and just forming. to link precarity to contingent work at this stage, would not take into account the new analysis which is only just forming around this particular word.
-the word has become political, and linking to contingent work could constitute a silencing of the analysis which is unique to this word.
-i do agree that in some cases it is good to merge simular analysis on particular lines, but i don't think a definition of this word is so set in stone yet.
