Earlier this week, I read an article by Associated Press employment and economy reporter, Chris Rugaber, reporting on the “Temporary jobs rise amid economic uncertainty.” An interesting, factual piece, but he throws quite a lot of shade on temporary, freelance and contract work citing the “negative effects” it has on both the economy and the professionals working in those positions. While he makes a case to stigmatize temps in some ways, I would like to supplement his piece with a different perspective and the positive side of what we’re seeing in regards to an increasing temporary workforce.
