@Chana @DragonKat747 – if this happens, I would like a finder’s fee :) KIDDING.

@Marzipan – great question. I don’t see the answer in the Business Week article I refer to above (which btw uses the much less flattering term, “Disposable Worker”), but maybe you’ll find it, and/or maybe it’s available on the Iowa Policy Project site if you dig a bit…

That’s awesome!
If you ever decide to do small apartment consults, let me know :)

I’d love to know the breakdown of that 26%. How many are “nonstandard” by choice – like many freelancers – and how many are “nonstandard” because that is the only option available to them right now.

Chana – you made my day! One of delights last year was being featured on ApartmentTherapy.com’s site during their semi-annual Home Cure. My living room and bedroom were both highlighted. :-)

@DragonKat747 love your list!
I’d hire you for #3 if you did this.
