The untold history of the surprising origins of the "gig economy"--how deliberate decisions made by consultants and CEOs in the 50s and 60s upended the stability of the workplace and the lives of millions of working men and women in postwar America.

Over the last fifty years, job security has cratered as the institutions that insulated us from volatility have been swept aside by a fervent belief in the market. Now every working person in America today asks the same question: how secure is my job? In Temp, Louis Hyman explains how we got to this precarious position and traces the real origins of the gig economy: it was created not by accident, but by choice through a series of deliberate decisions by consultants and CEOs--long before the digital revolution.

Uber is not the cause of insecurity and inequality in our country, and neither is the rest of the gig economy. The answer to our growing problems goes deeper than apps, further back than outsourcing and downsizing, and contests the most essential assumptions we have about how our businesses should work. As we make choices about the future, we need to understand our past.Winner of the William G. Bowen Prize

I am half way through and bought a copy for a friend I though I had a good understanding of the corporate world our economy and the forces that drive our culture and society I never realized how ignorant I could be Not only is the book informative but I find it reads like a novel It flows and I sit up reading until the wee hours The book is not going to be loved by all but lovers of sociology economics and history will find it amazing Enjoy Muita informação sobre os antecedentes do processo de precarização das relações de trabalho nos Estados Unidos This is a fine book that tells the history of the post ww II corporation to present day and the way that work in our society has become increasingly intensified yet insecure It is very interesting to read never dull It brings to life the history of the temp industry the consulting industry and illustrates how the temp worker was at time glamorized White women Kelly Girl office workers and at other times hidden undocumented immigrant assemblers and garment workers Now that precarious model is the ideal low costno benefits worker pursued by corporations and their consultants as layoffs are the mantra used to uickly boost stock profits that yield short term gains for CEOs and stockholders Long term planning and innovation as well as the lives and health of workers are casualties in the Temp story Temp is the kind of book that you'll want to discuss with your friends colleagues and family Author Louis Hyman tells a compelling story of why nine to five 40 hours per week employment has morphed into temporary gigs that help the corporate bottom line but offer no benefits or job security He also discusses the pros and cons of working for digital temp work sites such as Etsy and Uber; and takes a peek at what the future will bring in terms of machines learning to do human work such as teaching a robot to fold a towel Filled with interesting and compelling examples from the past to the present Temp is a must read for anyone working in America today Some time in the 1970s American employers decided that they were primarily in the business of making profits not providing wages and benefits to employees to make stuff or serve customers One way to increase profits is to use a flexible contingent workforce AKA Temps who are paid less and benefitted less than the old full time workforce Hyman's book does an excellent job of describing this process Today in spite of the glowing employment numbers 57 million American US Workers are part of the Gig economy not just working from paycheck to paycheck but from temporary job to temporary job The Department of Labor counts 2733 million Americans as working part time that is anywhere from 1 hour to 35 hours a week Hyman himself a former McKinsey consultant does a great job describing the insidious role consultants and I'm a retired one of those played in shifting the instability of capitalism from employers to employees Next time you catch an Uber ride ask the driver how much they have saved for retirement histoire alternative
