Layoffs, outsourcing, contingent work, disappearing career ladders-these are the new workplace realities for an increasing number of people. But why? In The Temp Economy, Erin Hatton takes one of the best-known icons of the new economy-the temp industry-and finds that it is more than just a symbol of this degradation of work. The temp industry itself played an active role in this decline-and not just for temps. Industry leaders started by inventing the ""Kelly Girl,"" exploiting 1950's gender stereotypes to justifyTemporary employmentUnited StatesUnited StatesEconomic policy21st centuryTemporary employment331.25/7290973Hatton Erin Elizabeth1974-1811271MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910968303403321The temp economy4363047UNINA
