It's going to take deeper thought than this to get out of this message.

The road began deep in a valley

Climbed toward the sun

Dipped again to the sea

And so it followed on its run

Taking me

On the long journey

To become what I was to be

Hardly smooth but mostly happy

In a life of struggle and fight

Never ending.

More U.S. Workers Have Highly Volatile, Unstable Incomes [feedly]

More U.S. Workers Have Highly Volatile, Unstable Incomes
// Working In These Times

The U.S stock market may be at record highs and U.S. unemployment at its lowest level since the Great Recession, but income inequality remains stubbornly high.

Contributing to this inequality is the fact that while more Americans are working than at any time since August 2007, more people are working part time, erratic and unpredictable schedules—without full-time, steady employment. Since 2007, the number of Americans involuntarily working part time has increased by nearly 45 percent. More Americans than before are part of what's considered the contingent workforce, working on-call or on-demand, and as independent contractors or self-employed freelancers, often with earnings that vary dramatically month to month.

These workers span the socioeconomic spectrum, from low-wage workers in service, retail, hospitality and restaurant jobs—and temps in industry, construction and manufacturing—to highly educated Americans working job-to-job because their professions lack fulltime employment opportunities given the structure of many information age businesses. As Andrew Stettner, Michael Cassidy and George Wentworth point out in their new report, A New Safety Net for an Era of Unstable Earnings, what all these workers have in common are highly volatile, unstable incomes and a lack of access to the traditional U.S. unemployment insurance safety net.
