Key Issues:
Labor Markets
Description:
The prevalence of nonstandard jobs is a matter of concern if, as many assume, such jobs are bad. To assess the link between type of employment and bad jobs, we conceptualize bad jobs as those with low pay and without access to health insurance and pension benefits. About one in seven jobs in the United States is bad on these three dimensions. Nonstandard employment strongly increases workers' exposure to bad job characteristics.
