10 February 2017 - Feeling ‘Pressure All the Time’ on Europe’s Treadmill of Temporary Work By LIZ ALDERMAN, The New York Times, FEB. 9, 2017
- Very good illustration of the consequences of Europe's job protection regulations. "Under European labor laws, permanent workers are usually more difficult to lay off and require more costly benefit packages, making temporary contracts appealing for all manner of industries, from low-wage warehouse workers to professional white-collar jobs." These laws protect workers from mistreatment by their employers. But they also make employers reluctant to hire workers on a permanent basis. This ends up creating a class divide within the working class between a pampered class of permanent workers and a harried class of temporary workers. This inequity is quantitatively significant: "more than half of all new jobs created in the European Union since 2010 have been through temporary contracts".
