The temporary jobs are good supplements to the regular jobs in our life,but i think people prefer a regular job,i mean to a regular person.We want our insurance covered,we want the wage be paid every month or week,we donot want to losing the job in the coming morning,and begin to seek a new job,which we donot know where it is,people want to be settled down,and have a regular life. But thing's changing,30 years ago,mostly only man was working outside,meanwhile woman holding house at home,and what man's salary could afford all the family expend,and even had some saving. But now,couple have to work outside both,and even more ironical,there are not so many jobs for us.So the "job" pick us,not we pick them.Do we really want to the part-time job dominate in our life--i donot think so,we have the most the time is just sitting in front of pc to wait the employing email coming.

And it isn't just about feelings. The complete lack of a safety net for independent workers is the key policy challenge of the gigonomic era, says Horowitz, who received a prestigious MacArthur fellowship for her advocacy work in this area. Her organization is pressing President Obama to include relief for self-employed workers in his stimulus plan. She is lobbying for a savings system in which contingent workers could get some government-matching funds when they put rainy-day money away during fat times.
She would also like to see other policy initiatives aimed at the independent workforce, including more non-employer mechanisms for affordable group health insurance, flexible retirement plans, and tax breaks to address the additional Social Security and Medicare taxes paid by the self-employed.
When the economy improves, there will be a core group of giggers who won't return to full-time jobs, according to analysts like Challenger and Horowitz. Their incomes will rise as labor markets improve, corporate budgets grow, and companies pay up for solid skills and talents. They'll be happy to have the better-paying projects, but people like Bond and Kushi are likely to eschew the company ID and its regular paycheck. After all, the next gig might be the best one yet.
