According to a Globe and Mail report from Stats Can, the rise of contract jobs is a clear and steady trend with 2009 numbers showing nearly 1 million Canadians employed in this category. While temporary work isn’t necessarily what we all want in terms of job security, the article lays out the negatives and positives, and the positives are what we should choose to look at, especially going into the new year!
Temp jobs are generally seen as poorer in quality. On average, they don’t pay as much as permanent positions and have fewer benefits. They are less likely to be unionized, and more likely to be part time. Intermittent income also makes it tougher to build up savings for retirement.
But they also have positive aspects. Students, older workers or stay-at-home parents may prefer them for their work-life balance. They can be a foot in the door for immigrants. For young people, they can be a stepping stone to a permanent position. For employers, they allow more flexibility in adjusting to the waxes and wanes of demand.
