Challenging the long-held belief that doing something quickly compromises quality, this is an invaluable guide to improving the efficiency of your thinking to create more time for yourself.

Explores the implications of the growing number of contingent & nonstandard workers & particularly why bad nonstandard jobs exist parallel to good jobs. Nonstandard jobs, held by nearly one out of three American workers, are less likely to offer pensions, health insurance, & job security, & wages tend to be low. While the emerging practice of contract company employment offers potentially better working conditions than such practices as day labor, it has an ominous potential, since workers may be doing the same job, in the same industry, firm, & occupation, & yet receive very different compensation. Howard Wachtel, Barry Bluestone, & David Gordon (1972) observed that there are two or more fundamentally different segments of the American labor market producing radically different economic outcomes & rewards. Both employers, & employees in the favored primary job market, are motivated to perpetuate the uneven distribution of rewards. Eliminating the two-tiered labor market will require a full commitment from both government & organized labor. 3 Tables. L. A. Hoffman
